So the song follows the same chord progression pretty much the whole way through.
Spread the love people! Same love!
Intro:
Eb Cm Ab Ebsus2-Eb (this is a very quick move - you can skip it, or just hammer on)
Eb Cm Ab Eb
EbWhen I was in the third gradeCm I thought I was gay
'Cause I coAbuld draw, an' my uncle Ebwas, and I kept my room straight
EbI told my mom Cmtears rushing down my face
She's like &Abquot;Ben you've loved giEbrls since before pre-k," trippin'
EbYea I guess she had aCm point didn't she?
AbBunch of stereotypes Eball in my head.
EbI remember doing the math like, Cm"yea I'm good at little league"
AbA preconceived ideaEb of what it all meant
(repeat progression)
For those that liked the same sex
Had the characteristics
The right wing conservatives think it's a decision
And you can be cured with some treatment and religion
Man made rewiring of a predisposition
Playing god, aw nah here we go
America the brave still fears what we don't know
And god loves all his children, is somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written thirty-five-hundred years ago
I don't know
Eb Eb Eb/C Eb/Ab Eb
And I can't change
Eb Eb/C
Even if I tried
Even if I wAbanted tEbo
I'm acting stEbrange
Eb/Cm Ab
Even if I try
Eb Eb Eb/C
Even if I wanted to
AbMy love, my love, my loEbve
Eb Eb/C
She keeps me warm
She keeps me wAbarm Eb
Eb Eb/C
She keeps me warm
She keeps me wAbarm Eb
EbIf I was gay,Cm I would think hip-hop hates me
Cm/Ab Eb
Have you read the YouTube comments lately
Eb Ebsus4/F Eb/G Cm
"Man, that's gay" get dropped on the daily
AbWe Ab6becoAb7me so numb to wEbhat we're saying
A culture Ebfounded from oppCmression, yet we don't have acceptance for 'em
AbCall each other faggots Ebbehind the keys of a message board
EbA word rooted in hCmate, yet our genre still ignores it
AbA gay is synonymous with the lEbesser
It's the sEbame hate that's caused Cmwars from religion
AbGender to skin color, the cEbomplexion of your pigment
(repeat progression)
The same fight that led people to walk outs and sit ins
It's human rights for everybody, there is no difference!
Live on and be yourself
When I was at church they taught me something else
If you preach hate at the service those words aren't anointed
That holy water that you soak in has been poisoned
Eb Eb/C
When everyone else is more comfortable remaining voiceless
Cm/Ab Cm7/Bb
Rather than fighting for humans that have had their rights stolen
EbI might not be theGm7 same, but that's not important
No fAbreedom till we're equal, damn Ebright I support it
Eb Eb/C Eb/Ab Eb
Eb Eb/C Ab Eb
(repeat)
And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love
My love
My love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
EbAnd press Cmplay, don't press pause
AbProgress, marcEbh on
With the veil over our Ebeyes
We turn the Cmback on the cause
Till the dAbay that my uncles can be uEbnited by law
When kids are walking 'round the hallway plagued by pain in their heart
A world so hateful some would rather die than be who they are
And a certificate on paper isn't gonna solve it all
But it's a damn good place to start
No law is gonna change us
We have to change us
Whatever god we believe in
We come from the same one
EbStrGm7ip away the fear
UnderneathAb it's all the same lovEbe
About time we raised up
And I can't cEbhangCme Ab Eb
Even if I tEbried Cm
Even if I wAbanted tEbo
I'm acting stEbrange
Eb/C Ab Eb
Even if I try
Even if I Ebwanted toCm
AbMy love, my love, my love
(N.C.)
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
