The Lost Boy Chords by Greg Holden

I [G] left my home still as a child
I walked a thousand sorry miles
To wait [C] for my father
To gather [G] up his tools
He said, my boy, you gotta run
Don't wait for me, don't wait for mom
[C] We'll come get you
When it's safe [G] for us to move
_ [C] So I waited many years
Held [Em] back the pain behind my tears
I waited [C] for my father
To come fight me [G] like he said
And [C] in that time I was alone
So [Em] many years without my home
[C] I made brothers of a different [G] kind instead
And _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ at the time I didn't know
Just how hard the wind could blow [C] Towards disaster
And the things that [G] I would see
_ I never found my father
I never found my mother [C] either
But I know in my lifetime [G] I will be
A _ [C] hero to the masses
[Em] To those born without chances
[C] There's a freedom that everyone [G] deserves
I [C] know there's greed and there's corruption
[Em] I've seen death and mass destruction
But [C] I'm telling you
And I hope that [G] I am heard
I will not be commanded
I _ _ [C] will not be controlled
And _ [Em] I will not let my future [C] go on
Without the help of [G] my soul _ _ _ _
I will not be commanded
I _ _ [C] will not be controlled _ _
[Em] And I will not let my future [C] go on
Without the help of [G] my soul _ _ _ _
I will not be commanded
I _ _ [C] will not be controlled
And _ [Em] I will not let my future [C] go on
Without the [G] help of my soul
I _ _ _ _ will not be commanded
I _ _ [C] will not be controlled
And _ I [Em] will not let my future [C] go on
