Intro (x4)
F#sus4 Bsus4
[Verse]
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
You ride your John Deere down to the pond
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
Just to watch me struggle along.
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
You say you got your daddy's seed in you
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
And you think you're bored with anything there is to do with me.
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
You wipe your hands across your bare chest
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
And rub your fingers through your crew cut hair.
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
"Expelled from school," you tell me with a grin,
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
"I copped a feel from an ex-girlfriend."
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
I know you want to break the rules-
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
We were made by nature's fools.
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
And so you ride all day long, all by yourself,
F#sus4 Bsus4
'Til you feel strong-
[Chorus]
F#sus4 Bsus4
Strong enough to stay
F#sus4 Bsus4
Strong enough to be
F#sus4 Bsus4
Standing in the way
F#sus4 Bsus4
Of everything I see.
[Verse]
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
You wanna know why I had to go
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
Down to the baseball park to see you blow it.
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
All the balls just fall from your hands,
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
And your daddy asks me, "When is he gonna be a man?"
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
I know you want to change the truth-
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
We were made by nature's fools.
F#sus4 Bsus4
So you ride all night long
F# F#sus4 Bsus4
With your boys in those muscle cars.
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
And you go down to the city
F#
And laugh at the faggots
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
Until the girls look pretty and until you feel strong-
[Chorus]
F#sus4 Bsus4
Strong enough to stay
F#sus4 Bsus4
Strong enough to be
F#sus4 Bsus4
Standing in the way
F#sus4 Bsus4
Of everything I see.
[Verse]
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
I'm just a magnet for the rural faggots.
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
They come and knock on my door
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
Just to find they're running out of time
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
To figure out what they come here for.
F#sus4 Bsus4 F#sus4 Bsus4
I know you want to know the truth
F# F#sus4
And I'm the dyke who will give it to you.
[Bridge]
F#sus4
By this time next year
F#sus4
You'll know you're queer
F#
It'll all be okay
F#
It'll all be clear
F#sus4
And you'll run away from home
F#sus4
But not to be alone
F#
And you'll go down to the city
F#
Where the boys are pretty
[Outro]
F#sus4 Bsus4
Strong enough to be
F#sus4 Bsus4
Standing in the way
F#sus4 Bsus4
Of everything I see.
