[Intro] (x4)

Esus4 Asus4

[Verse]

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

You ride your John Deere down to the pond

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

Just to watch me struggle along.

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

You say you got your daddy's seed in you

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

And you think you're bored with anything there is to do with me.

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

You wipe your hands across your bare chest

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

And rub your fingers through your crew cut hair.

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

"Expelled from school," you tell me with a grin,

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

"I copped a feel from an ex-girlfriend."

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

I know you want to break the rules-

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

We were made by nature's fools.

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

And so you ride all day long, all by yourself,

Esus4 Asus4

'Til you feel strong-

[Chorus]

Esus4 Asus4

Strong enough to stay

Esus4 Asus4

Strong enough to be

Esus4 Asus4

Standing in the way

Esus4 Asus4

Of everything I see.

[Verse]

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

You wanna know why I had to go

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

Down to the baseball park to see you blow it.

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

All the balls just fall from your hands,

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

And your daddy asks me, "When is he gonna be a man?"

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

I know you want to change the truth-

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

We were made by nature's fools.

Esus4 Asus4

So you ride all night long

E Esus4 Asus4

With your boys in those muscle cars.

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

And you go down to the city

And laugh at the faggots

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

Until the girls look pretty and until you feel strong-

[Chorus]

Esus4 Asus4

Strong enough to stay

Esus4 Asus4

Strong enough to be

Esus4 Asus4

Standing in the way

Esus4 Asus4

Of everything I see.

[Verse]

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

I'm just a magnet for the rural faggots.

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

They come and knock on my door

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

Just to find they're running out of time

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

To figure out what they come here for.

Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4

I know you want to know the truth

E Esus4

And I'm the dyke who will give it to you.

[Bridge]

Esus4

By this time next year

Esus4

You'll know you're queer

It'll all be okay

It'll all be clear

Esus4

And you'll run away from home

Esus4

But not to be alone

And you'll go down to the city

Where the boys are pretty

[Outro]

Esus4 Asus4

Strong enough to be

Esus4 Asus4

Standing in the way

Esus4 Asus4

Of everything I see.

Esus4 Asus4

A country boy who's gay
