Chords :

[Intro:]
(Eb) (Cm) (Ab) (Ebsus2-Eb) {you can skip it, or just hammer on}
(Eb) (Cm) (Ab) (Eb)

(Eb)When I was in the third grade (Cm)I thought I was gay
'Cause I could(Ab) draw, an' my uncle (Eb)was, and I kept my room straight
(Eb)I told my mom (Cm)tears rushing down my face
She's like "(Ab)Ben you've loved girls (Eb)since before pre-k," trippin'
(Eb)Yea I guess she had a (Cm)point didn't she?
(Ab)Bunch of stereotypes (Eb)all in my head.
(Eb)I remember doing the math like, "(Cm)yea I'm good at little league"
(Ab)A preconceived idea (Eb)of what it all meant

[Repeat Progression]
For those that liked the same sex
Had the characteristics
The right wing conservatives think it's a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
Man made rewiring of a predisposition
Playing god, aw nah here we go
America the brave still fears what we don't know
And god loves all his children, is somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago
I don't know

(Eb)And I can't (Eb)change (Eb/C) (Eb/Ab) (Eb)
Even if I (Eb)tried (Eb/C)
Even if I (Ab)wanted to(Eb)
I'm acting (Eb)strange
(Eb/Cm)Even if I try(Ab)
(Eb)Even if I (Eb)wanted to (Eb/C)
(Ab)My love, my love, my love(Eb)
She keeps me (Eb)warm (Eb/C)
She keeps me (Ab)warm (Eb)
She keeps me (Eb)warm (Eb/C)
She keeps me (Ab)warm (Eb)

(Eb)If I was gay, (Cm)I would think hip-hop hates me
(Cm/Ab)Have you read the YouTube (Eb)comments lately
(Eb)"Man, (Ebsus4/F)that's (Eb/G)gay" get (Cm)dropped on the daily
(Ab)We (Ab6)become(Ab7) so numb to (Eb)what we're saying

A culture (Eb)founded from (Cm)oppression, yet we don't have acceptance for 'em
(Ab)Call each other faggots (Eb)behind the keys of a message board
(Eb)A word rooted in (Cm)hate, yet our genre still ignores it
(Ab)A gay is synonymous with the (Eb)lesser
It's the (Eb)same hate that's caused (Cm)wars from religion
(Ab)Gender to skin color, the (Eb)complexion of your pigment
[Repeat Progression]
The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins
It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference!
Live on and be yourself
When I was at church they taught me something else
If you preach hate at the service those words aren't anointed
That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned

When everyone (Eb)else is more comfortable (Eb/C)remaining voiceless
Rather than (Cm/Ab)fighting for humans that have had(Cm7/Bb) their rights stolen
(Eb)I might not be the (Gm7)same, but that's not important
No (Ab)freedom till we're equal, damn (Eb)right I support it

(Eb) (Eb/C) (Eb/Ab) (Eb)
(Eb) (Eb/C)  (Ab)   (Eb)
[Repeat]

And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love
My love
My love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm

(Eb)And press (Cm)play, don't press pause
(Ab)Progress, march(Eb) on
With the veil over our (Eb)eyes
We turn the (Cm)back on the cause
Till the day(Ab) that my uncles can be (Eb)united by law
When kids are walking 'round the hallway plagued by pain in their heart
A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are
And a certificate on paper isn't gonna solve it all
But it's a damn good place to start
No law is gonna change us
We have to change us
Whatever god we believe in
We come from the same one
Eb Gm7
Strip away the fear
Underneath (Ab)it's all the same love(Eb)
About time we raised up

And I can't (Eb)change(Cm) (Ab) (Eb)
Even if I (Eb)tried (Cm)
Even if I (Ab)wanted to(Eb)
I'm acting (Eb)strange
(Eb/C)Even if I (Ab)try (Eb)
Even if I (Eb)wanted to(Cm)
(Ab)My love, my love, my love
{N.C.}
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm

(Eb)Love is patient
Love is kind
Love is patient
Love is kind
{I'm not crying on Sundays}
Love is patient
{I'm not crying on Sundays}
Love is kind
{I'm not crying on Sundays}
Love is patient
{I'm not crying on Sundays}
Love is kind
{I'm not crying on Sundays}
Love is patient
{I'm not crying on Sundays}
Love is kind
{I'm not crying on Sundays}
Love is patient
Love is kind
