Boys In The Street

C
When I was younger
                         F
My daddy told me I would never
                        C
Never amount to nothing special
                           F
He'd come at me from every angle
                      C
He'd say, "You're the last thing I wanted, the last thing I need
         F
How am I gonna answer when my friends tell me
   Am      G                   F       C
My son was kissing boys in the street
   Am      G                   C
My son was kissing boys in the street"
            C
He tried to change me
                         F
Said I'm embarrassing my country
                          C
How could I do this to my family
                         F
Do I wanna grow up being lonely

                 C
He'd say, "We've worked for our money, we've put you in school
        F
Is this how you repay us? Do you think this is cool?
   Am        G                   F       C
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
   Am        G                   C
My son, stop kissing boys in the street"
C   F   C   F

             C
Now that I'm older
                            F
My daddy's heart's a little warmer
                                   C
But he still won't hold me like my brother
                                   F
And he still won't kiss me like my mother

                   C
He said, "You're a part of this family, I made you myself
        F
But the way that you act isn't good for your health
   Am        G                   F       C
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
   Am        G                   C
My son, stop kissing boys in the street"

C   F   Am   G
Oooooooo
C   F   Am   G
Ohhhhhhh
           C
My daddy's dying
                                  F
And he's finally realized I'm not lying
                              C
We sit in silence but we're smiling
                            F
Because for once we are not fighting

                    C
He said, "There was no way of knowing 'cause all I was taught
       F
Is men only love women, but now I'm not sure
   Am        G                   F       C
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
   Am        G                   F       C
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
         Am         G                   C
When I'm gone, keep kissing boys in the street"
