My Whole Family

[Verse 1]
G            D
Every time I go to dinner
G                           D
it seems like I'm getting a little bit thinner
G                    D
I'll sit down at the breakfast table
G               D
I can talk, but they're not able
G              D
When I look at them I find
G                         D
there's a single question on their mind.
G                              D
I wish it could go back to the way it was
G                D            Em
it's not easy no because...

[Chorus]
         C               G
My whole family thinks I'm gay
             D                G
I guess it's always been that way.
           C                  G
Maybe it's cause of the way I walk,
                D                   Em
that makes them think that I like...boys

[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,
      G                        D
like "How was your day? Do you like to kiss guys?"
G                       D
This is the worst, baby this was my fear
G                      D              Em
Now their opinions are crystal clear.

[Chorus]
         C             G
My whole family now is shocked,
           D                      Em
I'm in the closet and the door is locked.
       C              G
Now my glory days are gone,
           D                        Em
I was John Elway, now I'm Elton John.

[Chorus]
         C          G
My whole family now suspects,
     D                           Em
That watching Spongebob had side-effects.
            C                     G
But I'm not gay and that's what I said,
       D                      Em
If I'm gay then God strike me dead.

[Verse]
G                     D
Just cause I go to an all-guys school,
G                              D
Doesn't mean Justin Timberlake makes me drool.
       G           D
When I go outside, what do I see?
     G                      D      Em
The clouds in the sky spell "F-A-G"

[Chorus]
             C                   G
I think that God might think I'm gay,
          D          Em
What does he know anyway.
                     C                 G
My grandma gave me a present just last year,
             D                     Em
and the card said, "Happy Birthday queer!"
         C                  G
My whole family thinks I'm "fab"
               D                    Em
There's a guys butt, hey Bo, take a stab!
                   C                       G
Why doesn't he get women, there's no other way,
               D                    Em
It's cause I'm lanky, not cause I'm gay.

C G D Em C G D

[Verse]
G               D
Just cause I'm afraid of the snow,
      G                      D
Or my favorite color is, the rainbow.
G                          D
I don't mean to yell but I fear I must,
          G                        D                      Em
Cause I'm losing the people that I thought I could trust.

[Chorus]
        C                    G      D         Em
Even my boyfriend thinks I'm gay... motherf-
        C                  G
You all probably think I'm gay,
          D                  Em      C
Man, this song is counterproductive
G     D           Em C G D Em
   la la la la la laaa

C G D

[Chorus]
     Em        C                 G
Cause my whole family thinks I'm gay,
        D             Em
What am I supposed to say?
                C                     G
Baby, you gotta see right through the haze,
          D               Em
Easy-Bake oven was just a phase.
         C                 G
My whole family thinks I'm queer,
        D          Em
That is all I ever hear,
         C                     G
But I've been as straight as a ramp,
       D                 Em
If you don't count Bible camp.

C G D G C G D G                Em
                I'm not gay, I swear
