[Intro 1]
[C][Am][F][C]
[C][Am][F][C]

[Verse 1]
When I [C]was in the 3rd [Am]grade
I thought that I was gay 'cause I [F]could draw,
My uncle [C]was and I kept my room straight
[C]I told my mom[Am],
tears rushing down my face, she's like,
[F]"Ben you've loved gir[C]ls since before pre-K"
[C]Trippin',
yeah, [Am]I guess she had a point, didn't she?
[F]A bunch of stereotyp[C]es all in my head
[C]I remember doing the m[Am]ath like
"Yeah, I'm good a little league"
A [F]pre-conceived i[C]dea of what it all meant
For those who [C]like the same [Am]sex
had the characteristics
[F]The right-wing conservat[C]ives
think its a decision
[C]And you can be cur[Am]ed
with some treatment and religion
[F]Man-made, rewi[C]ring of a pre-disposition.
Play[C]ing [Am]God
Ahh nah, here we go
[F]America the brave
[C]Still fears what we don't know
[C]And God loves all his [Am]children
it's somehow forgotten
But we [F]paraphrase a book
[C]written thirty five hundred years ago
I don't know

[Chorus 1]
And I [C]can't [Am]change
[F][C]
Even if [C]I t[Am]ried
Even if [F]I wanted t[C]o
And I [C]can't [Am]change
Even if [F]I t[C]ried
Even if [C]I wanted t[F]o
[F]My love, my love, [C]my love
She keeps me [C]warm[Am]
She keeps me [F]warm[C]
She keeps me [C]warm[F]
She keeps me [F]warm[C]

[Verse 2]
[C]If I was gay[Am] I would think hip-hop hates me
[F]Have you read the You[C]tube comments lately
[C]"Man that's gay[Am]" Gets dropped on the daily
We've [F]become so numb [C]to what we're sayin'
Our [C]culture founded from [Am]oppression
Yeah, we don't have acceptance for 'em
[F]Call each other faggots
[C]behind the keys of a message board
[C]A word routed in hate,
[Am]yet our genre still ignores it
[F]Gay is synonymou[C]s with the lesser
[C]It's the same hate
[Am]that's caused wars from religion
[F]Gender to skin color
[C]the complexion of your pigment
The [C]same fight
that lead [Am]people to walk-outs and sit-ins,
It's human [F]rights for every[C]body
There is no difference
[C]Live on! And be your[Am]self!
When I [F]was in church,
they taught me something [C]else
If you [C]preach hate at the [Am]service
Those words aren't anointed
[F]And that Holy Water,
that you [C]soak in is then poisoned
When every[C]one else Is more comfortable
[Am]remaining voiceless
Rather [F]than fighting for humans,
[C]that have had their rights stolen
[C]I might not be the sam[E]e
But that's not important
[F]No freedom 'til we're [C]equal

[Interlude 1]
Damn right I support it
[C][Am][F][C]
[C]I don't kno[Am]w[F][C]

[Chorus 2]
And I [C]can't [Am]change
Even if [F]I t[C]ried
Even if [C]I wanted t[F]o
[F]My love, my love, [C]my love
She keeps me [C]warm[Am]
She keeps me [F]warm[C]
She keeps me [C]warm[F]
She keeps me [F]warm[C]

[Verse 3]
[C]We pre[Am]ss play, don't press pause
[F]Progress, mar[C]ch on!
With a veil over our [C]eyes
We turn our [Am]back on the cause
'Till the day
That my [F]uncles can be [C]united by law
Their kids are walkin' around the [C]hallway
Plagued by [Am]pain in their heart
A world so [F]hateful,
some would rather die [C]than be who they are
And a [C]certificate on [Am]paper
Isn't gonna solve it all,
but it's a [F]damn good place to [C]start
[C]No law's gonna change [Am]us
We have to change us.
[F]Whatever God you bel[C]ieve in
We come from the same one
[C]Strip away the fea[E]r
Underneath it's all the same love
[F]About tim[C]e that we raised up

[Chorus 3]
And I [C]can't [Am]change
[F][C]
Even if [C]I t[Am]ried
Even if [F]I wanted t[C]o
And I [C]can't [Am]change
Even if [F]I t[C]ried
Even if [C]I wanted t[F]o
[F]My love, my love, [C]my love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm

[Outro 1]
She keeps me warm
[C]Love is patient, love is kind
Love is patient, love is kind
(Not crying on Sundays)
[Repeat and fade]
