Intro (x4)
Dsus4 Gsus4
[Verse]
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
You ride your John Deere down to the pond
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
Just to watch me struggle along.
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
You say you got your daddy's seed in you
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
And you think you're bored with anything there is to do with me.
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
You wipe your hands across your bare chest
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
And rub your fingers through your crew cut hair.
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
"Expelled from school," you tell me with a grin,
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
"I copped a feel from an ex-girlfriend."
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
I know you want to break the rules-
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
We were made by nature's fools.
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
And so you ride all day long, all by yourself,
Dsus4 Gsus4
'Til you feel strong-
[Chorus]
Dsus4 Gsus4
Strong enough to stay
Dsus4 Gsus4
Strong enough to be
Dsus4 Gsus4
Standing in the way
Dsus4 Gsus4
Of everything I see.
[Verse]
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
You wanna know why I had to go
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
Down to the baseball park to see you blow it.
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
All the balls just fall from your hands,
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
And your daddy asks me, "When is he gonna be a man?"
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
I know you want to change the truth-
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
We were made by nature's fools.
Dsus4 Gsus4
So you ride all night long
D Dsus4 Gsus4
With your boys in those muscle cars.
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
And you go down to the city
D
And laugh at the faggots
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
Until the girls look pretty and until you feel strong-
[Chorus]
Dsus4 Gsus4
Strong enough to stay
Dsus4 Gsus4
Strong enough to be
Dsus4 Gsus4
Standing in the way
Dsus4 Gsus4
Of everything I see.
[Verse]
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
I'm just a magnet for the rural faggots.
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
They come and knock on my door
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
Just to find they're running out of time
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
To figure out what they come here for.
Dsus4 Gsus4 Dsus4 Gsus4
I know you want to know the truth
D Dsus4
And I'm the dyke who will give it to you.
[Bridge]
Dsus4
By this time next year
Dsus4
You'll know you're queer
D
It'll all be okay
D
It'll all be clear
Dsus4
And you'll run away from home
Dsus4
But not to be alone
D
And you'll go down to the city
D
Where the boys are pretty
[Outro]
Dsus4 Gsus4
Strong enough to be
Dsus4 Gsus4
Standing in the way
Dsus4 Gsus4
Of everything I see.
Dsus4 Gsus4
