Verse 1: F Am two little boys, met each other on the playground Em just like the rest, didn't stick out from the crowd F Am but between themselves, they knew that they were different Em but they pushed it down, cause nobody would even listen Pre-Chorus: F their parents always saying "boy when you grow up, Am you're gonna find a nice lady, make sure you act though. Em you'll be living a life like barbie and ken, cmon suck it up and forget this nonsense" Chorus: F what if he wants ken, not barbie? Am why should he have to say sorry? Em tell me do you even listen, to all the dumb xxxx you're slippin' F we can love who we want to Am don't say he's not supposed to Em if he loves ken, not barbie he doesn't have to say sorry F no not to you not to me Am not to anyone, anyone, anyone Em not to you not to me not to anyone, anyone, anyone Verse 2: F Am seventeen years old, feeling like a stranger at home Em keeping his head down low, hide away so that nobody will know F Am avoiding mum and dad, when they're asking "who's your girlfriend?" Em cause lord forbid they see, his true identity Pre-Chorus: F his parents always saying "boy when will you see? Am you'll be happy I know, it's just a woman you need. Em you'll be such a nice ken, just gotta find your barbie- make sure you act like a man, it's what you born to be." Chorus: F what if he wants ken, not barbie? Am why should he have to say sorry? Em tell me do you even listen, to all the dumb xxxx you're slippin' F we can love who we want to Am don't say he's not supposed to Em if he loves ken, not barbie he doesn't have to say sorry F no not to you not to me Am not to anyone, anyone, anyone Em not to you not to me not to anyone, anyone, anyone Bridge: C Cmaj7 C7 F no, no, he doesn't have to say sorry C Cmaj7 C7 F no, no, he's never gonna say sorry Chorus: F he always wanted ken, not barbie Am he never ever has to say sorry Em Em and nobody is gonna listen, to all the dumb xxxx you're slipping F we can love who we want to Am don't say he's not supposed to Em he'll always love ken, not barbie Em and he doesn't have to say sorry to you
Love this song! +1 is a bit easier
Hi,
I had requested this song and I just wanted to say: Thank you for making this song available and for the work you have put into everything.
I wish you a wonderful day.
And a happy 2021.
Best regards

I played it by softly plucking the C and F string at the same time while playing the chords. I really like this song, thank you for making it!
This sounds great, thanks
Also I was finding the Gbsus2 a bit tricky and I found that a normal Gb works fine instead
