Boys In The Street Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Whe[G]n I[F] wa[Am]s[G]
[C]younger
My daddy told me I would [F]never
Never amount to nothing [C]special
He'd come at me from every [F]angle

[Verse 2]
He'd say, "You're the last [C]thing I wanted,
the last thing I [G]need
How [F]am I gonna answer
when my friends tell me
My [Am]son w[G]as kissing boys in the s[F]treet?[C]
My [Am]son w[G]as kissing boys
in the [F]street"[C]

[Verse 3]
He'd try to [C]change me
Say I'm embarrassing my [F]country
How could I [C]do this to my family?
Do I wanna grow up being [F]lonely?

[Verse 4]
He'd say, [C]"We have
worked for our money
We've put you in school
Is this how [F]you repay us?
Do you think this is cool?
[Am]My son, [G]stop kissing boys in the [F]street[C]
My [Am]son, [G]stop kissing boys in the
[F]street"[C]
[G][F][Am]

[Verse 5]
[G]
Now that [C]I'm older
My daddy's heart's a little [F]warmer
But he still won't hug me like my [C]brother
And he still won't kiss me like
my [F]mother

[Verse 6]
He'd say, [C]"You're a part of this family,
I made you myself
[G]But the way tha[F]t you act
isn't good for your [G]health
[Am]My son, [G]stop kissing boys in the [F]street[C]
My [Am]son, [G]stop kissing boys in the [F]street"
[C][G][C][G][F][Am]

[Verse 7]
[G]
My daddy's [C]dying
But he's finally realized [F]I'm not lying
We sit in silence,
but we're smil[C]ing
Because for [Em]once, we are not [F]fighting

[Verse 8]
He'd say, "There was no [C]way of
knowing 'cause all I was [G]taught is
Men [F]only love women,
but now I'm not sure
[G]My [Am]son, [G]keep kissing boys
in the [F]street[C]
[Am]My son, [G]keep kissing boys in the [F]street
[C]And w[G]hen I'm gon[Am]e,
[G]keep kissing boys [F]in the street"
