[Verse 1]
F               C Am                            G
two little boys, met each other on the playground
F                  C Am                            G
 just like the rest, didn't stick out from the crowd
F                      C Am                               G
 but between themselves, they knew that they were different
F                      C Am                            G
but they pushed it down, cause nobody would even listen


[Pre-Chorus]
F                            C                                   Am                    G
their parents always saying "boy when you grow up, you're gonna find a nice lady, make sure you act tough 
         F                   C               Am                      G
you'll be living a life like barbie and ken, cmon suck it up and forget this nonsense"


[Chorus]
G                F           C
what if he wants ken, not barbie?
              Am               G
why should he have to say sorry?
          F               C                  Am         G
tell me do you even listen, to all the dumb shit you're slippin'
           F             C
we can love who we want to
             Am              G
don't say he's not supposed to
            F              C
if he loves ken, not barbie
           Am              G
he doesn't have to say sorry
          F
no not to you
       C
not to me
       Am              G
not to anyone, anyone, anyone
       F

       C
not to me
       Am                 G
not to anyone, anyone, anyone


[Verse 2]
F                 C     Am                      G
seventeen years old, feeling like a stranger at home
F                       C  Am                            G
keeping his head down low, hide away so that nobody will know
F                  C  Am                                 G
avoiding mum and dad, when they're asking "who's your girlfriend?"
F                      C    Am             G
cause lord forbid they see, his true identity


[Pre-Chorus]
F                               C
his parents always saying "boy when will you see?
          Am                        G
you'll be happy I know, it's just a woman you need 
        F                             C
you'll be such a nice ken, just gotta find your barbie-
             Am                            G
make sure you act like a man, it's what you born to be "


[Chorus]
G                F            C
what if he wants ken, not barbie?

why should he have to say sorry?
               F         C                  Am                G
tell me do you even listen, to all the dumb shit you're slippin'
           F            C
we can love who we want to
             Am             G
don't say he's not supposed to
            F            C
if he loves ken, not barbie
           Am              G
he doesn't have to say sorry
          F
