Intro (x4)
Csus4 Fsus4
[Verse]
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
You ride your John Deere down to the pond
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
Just to watch me struggle along.
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
You say you got your daddy's seed in you
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
And you think you're bored with anything there is to do with me.
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
You wipe your hands across your bare chest
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
And rub your fingers through your crew cut hair.
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
"Expelled from school," you tell me with a grin,
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
"I copped a feel from an ex-girlfriend."
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
I know you want to break the rules-
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
We were made by nature's fools.
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
And so you ride all day long, all by yourself,
Csus4 Fsus4
'Til you feel strong-
[Chorus]
Csus4 Fsus4
Strong enough to stay
Csus4 Fsus4
Strong enough to be
Csus4 Fsus4
Standing in the way
Csus4 Fsus4
Of everything I see.
[Verse]
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
You wanna know why I had to go
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
Down to the baseball park to see you blow it.
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
All the balls just fall from your hands,
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
And your daddy asks me, "When is he gonna be a man?"
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
I know you want to change the truth-
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
We were made by nature's fools.
Csus4 Fsus4
So you ride all night long
C Csus4 Fsus4
With your boys in those muscle cars.
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
And you go down to the city
C
And laugh at the faggots
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
Until the girls look pretty and until you feel strong-
[Chorus]
Csus4 Fsus4
Strong enough to stay
Csus4 Fsus4
Strong enough to be
Csus4 Fsus4
Standing in the way
Csus4 Fsus4
Of everything I see.
[Verse]
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
I'm just a magnet for the rural faggots.
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
They come and knock on my door
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
Just to find they're running out of time
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
To figure out what they come here for.
Csus4 Fsus4 Csus4 Fsus4
I know you want to know the truth
C Csus4
And I'm the dyke who will give it to you.
[Bridge]
Csus4
By this time next year
Csus4
You'll know you're queer
C
It'll all be okay
C
It'll all be clear
Csus4
And you'll run away from home
Csus4
But not to be alone
C
And you'll go down to the city
C
Where the boys are pretty
[Outro]
Csus4 Fsus4
Strong enough to be
Csus4 Fsus4
Standing in the way
Csus4 Fsus4
Of everything I see.
Csus4 Fsus4
