A Great Big World - Boys in the streets

When I was yo^Aunger My daddy told me I would n^Dever Never amount to nothing spe^Acial He'd come at me from every a^Dngle

"You're the las^At thing I wanted, the last thing I need How a^Dm I gonna answer when my friends tell me My ^F#mson ^Awas kissing boys in the s^Dtreet?"

He tried to ch^Aange me Said I'm embarrassing my c^Dountry How could I do this to my f^Aamily? Do I wanna grow up being lo^Dnely?

"We've ^Aworked for our money, we put you in school Is t^Dhis how you repay us? Do you think this is cool? My ^F#mson,^A stop kissing boys in the st^Dreet My ^F#mson,^A stop kissing boys in the st^Dreet"

Now that I'm o^Alder My daddy's heart's a little w^Darmer But he still won't hug me like my b^Arother And he still won't kiss me like my m^Dother

"You're a pa^Art of this family, I made you myself But the wa^Dy that you act isn't good for your health My ^F#mson,^A stop kissing boys in the s^Dtreet My ^F#mson,^A stop kissing boys in the s^Dtreet"

My daddy's dy^Aing And he's finally realized I'm not l^Dying We sit in silence but we're s^Amiling Because for once we are not fi^Dghting

"There was n^Ao way of knowing 'cause all I was taught Is ^Dmen only love women, but now I'm not sure My ^F#mson,^A keep kissing boys in the s^Dtreet My ^F#mson,^A keep kissing boys in the s^Dtreet Whe^F#mn I'^Am gone, keep kissing boys i^Dn the street"
