Introdução:
A
When I was younger
D
My daddy told me I would never
A
Never amount to nothing special
D
He'd come at me from every angle
He'd say
A
"You're the last thing I wanted, the last thing I need
D
How am I gonna answer when my friends tell me
F#m A D
My son was kissing boys in the street?"
A
He tried to change me
D
Said I'm embarrassing my country
A
How could I do this to my family?
D
Do I wanna grow up being lonely?
He'd say
A
"We've worked for our money, we put you in school
D
Is this how you repay us? Do you think this is cool?
F#m A D
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
F#m A D
My son, stop kissing boys in the street"
A
Now that I'm older
D
My daddy's heart's a little warmer
A
But he still won't hug me like my brother
D
And he still won't kiss me like my mother
He'd say
A
"You're a part of this family, I made you myself
D
But the way that you act isn't good for your health
F#m A D
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
F#m A D
My son, stop kissing boys in the street"
A
My daddy's dying
D
And he's finally realized I'm not lying
A
We sit in silence but we're smiling
D
Because for once we are not fighting
He said
A
"There was no way of knowing 'cause all I was taught
D
Is men only love women, but now I'm not sure
F#m A D
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
F#m A D
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
F#m A D
When I'm gone, keep kissing boys in the street"
