[Em] [G] [C] [G]
[Em]There was a time, when [G]I was alone, [C]nowhere to go, and no [G]place to call home.
[Em]My only friend was the [G]man in the moon, and [C]even sometimes he would [G]go away too.
[Em]Then one night as I [G]close my eyes, [C]I saw a shadow [G]flying high.
[Em]He came to me, with the [G]sweetest smile, [C]told me he wanted to [G]talk for awhile
He said [Em]Peter Pan [G]that’s what they call me, [C]I promise that you’ll [G]never be lonely.
And [Am]ever since that [D]day…


[Em]I am a lost boy [G]from Neverland, [C]usually hanging out with [G]Peter Pan.
[Em]And when we’re bored we [G]play in the woods, [C]always on the run from [G]Captain Hook.
[Em]Run, run, [G]lost boy [C]they say to [G]me, [Em]away from [G]all of [C]reali[G]ty.
[Em]Neverland is home to [G]lost boys like me, and [C]lost boys like me are [G]free.


He [Em]sprinkled me in pixie dust and [G]told me to believe, be[C]lieve in him, and [G]believe in me
To[Em]gether we will fly away [G]in a cloud of green, [C]to your beautiful [G]destiny
As we [Em]soared above the town that [G]never loved me, I [C]realized I finally had a [G]family
[Em]Soon enough we reached [G]Neverland, [C]Peacefully my feet [G]hit the sand
And [Am]ever since that [D]day…


[Em]I am a lost boy [G]from Neverland, [C]usually hanging out with [G]Peter Pan.
[Em]And when we’re bored we [G]play in the woods, [C]always on the run from [G]Captain Hook.
[Em]Run, run, [G]lost boy [C]they say to [G]me, [Em]away from [G]all of [C]reali[G]ty.
[Em]Neverland is home to [G]lost boys like me, and [C]lost boys like me are [G]free.


[Em]Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, [G]Wendy Darling,
[C]Even Captain Hook, you are my [G]perfect storybook
[Em]Neverland I love you so, [G]you are now my home sweet home
For[C]ever a lost boy at [G]last, and for [Am]always I will [D]say


[Em]I am a lost boy [G]from Neverland, [C]usually hanging out with [G]Peter Pan.
[Em]And when we’re bored we [G]play in the woods, [C]always on the run from [G]Captain Hook.
[Em]Run, run, [G]lost boy [C]they say to [G]me, [Em]away from [G]all of [C]reali[G]ty.
[Em]Neverland is home to [G]lost boys like me, and [C]lost boys like me are [G]free.


[Em]Neverland is home to [G]lost boys like me, and [C]lost boys like me are [G]free
[Em]Neverland is home to [G]lost boys like me, and [C]lost boys like me are [G]free
