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

Chorus:
                 F  
he always wanted ken, not barbie
              Am

           Em                                Em  
and nobody is gonna listen, to all the dumb xxxx you're slipping
