[Intro]

C

[Verse 1]
C                          Am      F
You took a boat and then a train
                      G          C
told a joke and said "Hello"
                  Am         F
never asked for anything
                          G
just a place where he can go


[Chorus]
C         Em           Am              G
lord have mercy on the dancers and the queens
       F             G            C
on the runaways like you and like me
    C           Em             Am           G
put out by expectation lost in only fantasies
F                      C
drivels' daughters and preachers' sons
     G            C
like you and like me


[Verse 2]
C                          Am
what would I do without my boy
F                              G
his eyes are dark as midnight blue
C                               Am
never raised up fists or batted an eye
F                                              G
maybe I should call 'cause I'm dying on my own tonight heeeheeeeheee


[Chorus]
C         Em           Am              G
lord have mercy on the dancers and the queens
       F             G            C
on the runaways like you and like me
    C           Em             Am           G
put out by expectation lost in only fantasies
F                      C
drivels' daughters and preachers' sons
     G            C
like you and like me

[Bridge]
    Am      C
I'm cry-----ing
F                                 G
maybe they're just jealous that we're free
       Am      C
i've been dy-----ing
F                                  G
maybe they're just jealous that we're free


[Verse 3]
C                             Am
maybe we'll be kings or maybe pawns
F                            G
most days we are just who we are
C                           Am
I can't be someone that I'm not
F                               G
or say a glass breaks more than once oh-ho-ho


[Chorus]
C         Em           Am              G
lord have mercy on the dancers and the queens
       F             G            C
on the runaways like you and like me
    C           Em             Am           G
put out by expectation lost in only fantasies
F                      C
drivels' daughters and preachers' sons
     G            C
like you and like me
