[Verse 1]
 
G            C
Peter, can I go back home?
  G                                 C
I flew here under false pretense, I thought it would be fun,
        Em                           C
But the lost boys have all moved away, and one of them’s locked up,
Em
I know you think you’re still a child but
 C                                    G
I couldn’t give a fuck, you’re twenty one
 
C G C
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
   G            C
Oh Peter, I can dream no more,
          G                              C
I’ve been chasing all of yours that I’ve forgotten what it was
      Em     C        Em      C
That I wanted, that I want
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    G               C
No, I won’t be your doll
   G                    C                     Em
So please don’t you ask me to, you see that I don’t look so good
   C                        G       C                 G
In yellow, like other dolls they do, like other dolls they do
 
C Em C Em C
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
  G           C            G
Oh Peter, I am not naïve, I see the way you look at her
       C                                 Em
And you don’t do that for me, oh it must be love,
            C                  G
And we both know it’s not with us
 
C G C
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    G               C
No, I won’t be your doll
   G                    C                     Em
So please don’t you ask me to, you see that I don’t look so good
   C                        G       C                 G        C
In yellow, like other dolls they do, like other dolls they do
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
   G                 C                      G
Oh Peter, he walks beside the lake, while I lay beside
   C                       Em          C
An empty space, waiting for the sirens, just waiting for
    Em       C
the sirens,
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
    G               C        G                       C
No, I won’t be your doll, so please don’t you ask me to
        Em                         C                     G
I won’t shut my little painted face, like all your other dolls
       C                     G          C    G
They do, like all your other dolls they do
