“Lost Boy” was written and performed by Canadian singer Ruth B. The song was her debut single, which was officially released in 2015 on February 12th. She first showed it off in November of 2014 when she posted six seconds long Vine of her singing a line that she had came up with.
It managed to get around 84,000 likes within just one week, which was really unusual for her at the time. She took advantage of this popularity and it soon became a full song titled “Lost Boy” which she shared on YouTube on January 18th of 2015. Later that year she released her debut EP “The Intro” which had four songs, including “Lost Boy”.
The song is in the key of G major with a tempo of 62 bpm, and it follows a chord progression of Em – G/D – C – G.
Lyrics and chords:
No capo
[Intro]
Em G C G
[Verse 1]
Em
There was a time
G
when i was alone
C
Nowhere to go
G
and no place to call home
Em G
My only friend was the man in the moon
C G
and even sometimes he would go away too
Em G
Then one night i close my eyes
C G
I saw a shadow flying high
Em
he came to me
G
with the sweetest smile
C G
told me he wanted to talk for awhile
Em G
He said Peter Pan that’s what they call me.
C G
I promise that you’ll never be lonely.
Am D
And ever since that day
[Chorus]
Em G
I am a lost boy from Neverland
C G
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
Em G
And when we’re bored we play in the woods
C G
Always on the run from Captain Hook
Em G C G
Run, run, lost boy they say to me
Em G C G
Away from all of reality
Em G
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
C G
And lost boys like me are free
[Verse 2]
Em G
He sprinkled me in pixie dust and told me to believe
C G
Believe in him, and believe in me
Em G
Together we will fly away in a cloud of green
C G
To your beautiful destiny
Em G
As we soared above the town that never loved me
C G
I realized I finally had a family
Em G
Soon enough we reached Neverland
C G
Peacefully my feet hit the sand
Am D
And ever since that day
[Chorus]
Em G
I am a lost boy, from Neverland

Usually hangin’ out with Peter Pan
Em G
And when we’re bored we play in the woods

Always on the run from Captain Hook

Run, run, lost boy they say to me

Away from all of reality
