Em C G D Em C G D G D
[Verse 1]
GEvery time I Dgo to dinner
Git seems like I'm getting a Dlittle bit thinner
GI'll sit down at the Dbreakfast table
GI can talk, but Dthey're not able
GWhen I look at Dthem I find
Gthere's a single question Don their mind.
GI wish it could go back to the Dway it was
Git's not easy no Dbecause...Em  
[Chorus]
My whole Cfamily thinks I'Gm gay
I guess it's Dalways been that Gway.
Maybe it's Ccause of the way I Gwalk,
that makes them Dthink that I like...Emboys
C G D G C G D
[Verse]
The Ggoddamn question just Dwon't go away
cause GI get asked every Dsingle day
but the Gway they ask it is Dno disguise,
like "GHow was your day? Do you Dlike to kiss guys?"
GThis is the worst, baby Dthis was my fear
GNow their opinions are Dcrystal clear.Em  
[Chorus]
My whole Cfamily now is Gshocked,
I'm in the Dcloset and the door is Emlocked.
Now my Cglory days are Ggone,
I was John DElway, now I'm Elton JohnEm.
[Chorus]
My whole Cfamily now Gsuspects,
That Dwatching Spongebob had side-Emeffects.
But I'm not Cgay and that's what I Gsaid,
If I'm Dgay then God strike me Emdead.
[Verse]
GJust cause I go to an Dall-guys school,
GDoesn't mean Justin Timberlake Dmakes me drool.
When I Ggo outside, Dwhat do I see?
The cGlouds in the sky spell D"F-A-G"Em  
[Chorus]
I think that CGod might think I'm Ggay,
What does Dhe know anyEmway.
My grandma gave me a Cpresent just last Gyear,
and the card Dsaid, "Happy Birthday Emqueer!"
My whole Cfamily thinks I'm "Gfab"
There's a guys Dbutt, hey Bo, take a Emstab!
Why doesn't he get Cwomen, there's no other Gway,
It's cause I'm Dlanky, not cause I'm Emgay.
C G D Em C G D
[Verse]
GJust cause I'm aDfraid of the snow,
Or my Gfavorite color is, the Drainbow.
GI don't mean to yell but I Dfear I must,
Cause I'm Glosing the people that I Dthought I could trust.Em  
[Chorus]
Even my Cboyfriend thinks I'm Ggay... Dmotherf-Em  
You all Cprobably think I'm Ggay,
Man, this Dsong is counterprodEmuctiveC  
   Gla Dla la la la EmlaaCaG  D  Em  
C G D
[Chorus]
Cause Emmy whole Cfamily thinks I'm Ggay,
What am DI supposed to Emsay?
Baby, you gotta Csee right through the Ghaze,
Easy-Bake Doven was just a Emphase.
My whole Cfamily thinks I'm Gqueer,
That is Dall I ever Emhear,
But I've Cbeen as straight as a Gramp,
If you Ddon't count Bible Emcamp.

C G D G C G D

[Verse]

G D

The goddamn question just won't go away

G D

cause I get asked every single day

G D

but the way they ask it is no disguise,

like "How was your day? Do you like to kiss guys?"

This is the worst, baby this was my fear

If you don't count Bible camp.
