Verse 

Am           C      F 
When I was a boy of seventeen 

  F 
I know it's mean, but I 

Am        C                 F 
I told my friend to give up on her dreams 

    F 
She hated me, but I 

Am         C                   F 
I knew the dreams were for the best of us  

            F 
And for the rest of us, and I 

Am       C                F           F 
I didn't wanna share with anyone

Am       C             F 
I need a way to see my greatest dance  

    F 
and make them laugh 

Am              C                F 
I could win the wars or lose the battles, too 

F 
Whichever's true 

Am            C              F 
I can live in other peoples' lives 

             F                         Am 
I can't stop putting on other peoples' clothes 

  C                F         F 
I love them 'til I leave 


Chorus 

C 
I am a marathon runner 

G               F 
And my legs are sore 

                   Em           Dm 
And I'm anxious to see what I'm running for 

C 
I am a hot air ball0on 

G 
On a sailboat 

F                    Em          Dm 
I would make this my home if I'd learned to float

Am         C                  F 
So take my treasures, take my earthly life,  

F 
I'll try to cry, 

Am              C                F 
I will live without the things I love the best 

             F 
So hold them to your chest 

Am             C              F 
I will lose my faces, lose my stolen wigs,  

    F 
The heads of kings 

Am           C               F             F 
I will run until I know what to believe
