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                                                               Am
their parents always saying "boy when you grow up, 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 shit 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 shit 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 shit you're slipping
            F *
