[Intro 1]
[C][Am]
[F][C][F][Am][C][F][C]
[F][Am]

[Verse 1]
When I was [C]a boy of s[F]eventeen,
I know it's mean, but [Am]I
I told my [C]friend to [G]give up [F]on her dreams,
she hated me, but [Am]I
I knew that [C]dreams were for the [F]best of us,
not for the rest of us,
And [Am]I
I didn't [C]want to [G]share with
[F]anyone

[Interlude 1]
[F][Am][Asus4][Dm][Am]

[Verse 2]
I need a [C]way to sing the [F]greatest dance,
and make
Them laugh,
[Am]I could win the wa[C]rs,
or lose the [F]battles too, whichever's true
[Am]I can live in ot[C]her people's liv[F]es
I can't stop putting on
other [Am]people's clothes
I [C]love them 'til I leave
[F]

[Verse 3]
[C]I am [Am]a marat[G]hon runner
And [Em]my l[G]egs ar[Am]e so[F]re
An[Am]d I'm [Em]anxious to see
What I'm [Dm]running [C]for
I am a [G]hot [Am]air b[G]alloon
On a sail[Am]boat
[F]I would mak[Em]e this my home
If I'd [Dm]learned to [Am]float
[Asus4][Dm][Asus4][Am]

[Verse 4]
[Am]So take my t[C]reasures,
take my [F]earthly life, I'll try to cry,
[Am]I will live wi[C]thout the things
I [F]love the best
So hold them to your chest
[Am]I will lose my fac[C]es, lose my st[F]olen wigs,
the heads of kings
[Am]I will run un [G]ti[C]l I know what to[F] believe

[Interlude 2]
[F][Am][G][F]
[Dm][Am][C][G][F]
[Em][Am][Dm][G][F][Am][F][Am]
[C]

[Verse 5]
I am [F]a m[G]ara[F][Em][C]
[Em]thon [G]runner
And my legs are [C]sore
[F]And I'm[Em] anxious to see
What I'm [Dm]running [C]for
[Em]I am a hot air balloon
[G]On a sailboa[F]t
I [Em]would make this [Dm]my home[C]
[G]If[F][Em][Dm][C][G]
[F][Em]
I'd [Dm]learned to float
[C]
