Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

Am F

There was a time when I was alone

C G

Nowhere to go and no place to call home

Am F

My only friend was the man in the moon

C G

And even sometimes he would go away too

Chorus

Am F

Then one night as I closed my eyes

C G

I saw a shadow flying high

Am F

He came to me with the sweetest smile

C G

Told me he wanted to talk for a while

F C

He said, “Peter Pan, that’s what they call me

G Am

I promise that you’ll never be lonely”

F C G

And ever since that day

Verse 2

Am F

I am a lost boy from Neverland

C G

Usually hanging out with Peter Pan

Am F

And when we’re bored we play in the woods

C G

Always on the run from Captain Hook

Am F

”Run, run, lost boy,” they say to me

C G

”Away from all of reality”

Chorus

Am F

Neverland is home to lost boys like me

C G

And lost boys like me are free

Am F

Neverland is home to lost boys like me

C G

And lost boys like me are free

F C

He said, “Peter Pan, that’s what they call me

G Am

I promise that you’ll never be lonely”

F C G

And ever since that day

Verse 3

Am F

He sprinkled me in pixie dust and told me to believe

C G

Believe in him and believe in me

Am F

Together we will fly away in a cloud of green

C G

To your beautiful destiny

Chorus

Am F

As we soared above the town that never loved me

C G

I realized I finally had a family

Am F

Soon enough we reached Neverland

C G

Peacefully my feet hit the sand

F C G

And ever since that day

Am F

I am a lost boy from Neverland

C G

Usually hanging out with Peter Pan

Am F

And when we’re bored we play in the woods

C G

Always on the run from Captain Hook

Am F

”Run, run, lost boy,” they say to me

C G

”Away from all of reality”

Am F

Neverland is home to lost boys like me

C G

And lost boys like me are free
