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

Chorus 1
And I can't (E flat major) change (C minor)
(A flat major) (E flat major)
Even if I (E flat major) tried (C minor)
Even if I (A flat major) wanted to (E flat major)
And I can't (E flat major) change (C minor)
Even if I (A flat major) tried (E flat major)
Even if I (E flat major) wanted to (A flat major)
(A flat major) My love, my love, (E flat major) my love
She keeps me warm (E flat major) (C minor)
She keeps me warm (A flat major) (E flat major)
She keeps me warm (E flat major) (A flat major)
She keeps me warm (A flat major) (E flat major)
Verse 2
(E flat major) If I was gay (C minor) I would think hip-hop hates me
(A flat major) Have you read the (E flat major) Youtube comments lately
(E flat major) "Man that's (C minor) gay" Gets dropped on the daily
We've become (A flat major) so numb (E flat major) to what we're sayin'
Our culture (E flat major) founded from oppression (C minor)
Yeah, we don't have acceptance for 'em
(A flat major) Call each other faggots
(E flat major) behind the keys of a message board
(E flat major) A word routed in hate,
(C minor) yet our genre still ignores it
(A flat major) Gay is synony (E flat major) mous with the lesser
(E flat major) It's the same hate
(C minor) that's caused wars from religion
(A flat major) Gender to skin color
(E flat major) the complexion of your pigment
The (E flat major) same fight
that lead (C minor) people to walk-outs and sit-ins,
It's human (A flat major) rights for every (E flat major) body
There is no difference
Live (E flat major) on! And be your (C minor) self!
When I (A flat major) was in church,
they taught me something else (E flat major)
If you (E flat major) preach hate at the service (C minor)
Those words aren't anointed
(A flat major) And that Holy Water,
that you (E flat major) soak in is then poisoned
When every (E flat major) one else Is more comfortable
(C minor) remaining voiceless
Rather than (A flat major) fighting for humans,
(E flat major) that have had their rights stolen
(E flat major) I might not be the (G major) same
But that's not important
(A flat major) No freedom 'til we're equal (E flat major)
Interlude 1
Damn right I support it
(E flat major) (C minor) (A flat major) (E flat major)
(E flat major) I don't (C minor) know (A flat major) (E flat major)
Chorus 2
And I can't (E flat major) change (C minor)
Even if I (A flat major) tried (E flat major)
Even if I (E flat major) wanted to (A flat major)
(A flat major) My love, my love, (E flat major) my love
She keeps me warm (E flat major) (C minor)
She keeps me warm (A flat major) (E flat major)
She keeps me warm (E flat major) (A flat major)
She keeps me warm (A flat major) (E flat major)
Verse 3
(E flat major) We (C minor) press play, don't press pause
(A flat major) Progress, (E flat major) march on!
With a veil over our (E flat major) eyes
We turn our (C minor) back on the cause
'Till the day
That my (A flat major) uncles can be united (E flat major) by law
Their kids are walkin' around the (E flat major) hallway
Plagued by (C minor) pain in their heart
A world so (A flat major) hateful,
some would rather die (E flat major) than be who they are
And a (E flat major) certificate on paper (C minor)
Isn't gonna solve it all,
but it's a (A flat major) damn good place to (E flat major) start
(E flat major) No law's gonna change (C minor) us
We have to change us.
(A flat major) Whatever God you believe (E flat major) in
We come from the same one
(E flat major) Strip away the fear (G major)
Underneath it's all the same love
(A flat major) About time (E flat major) that we raised up
Chorus 3
And I can't (E flat major) change (C minor)
(A flat major) (E flat major)
Even if I (E flat major) tried (C minor)
Even if I (A flat major) wanted to (E flat major)
And I can't (E flat major) change (C minor)
Even if I (A flat major) tried (E flat major)
Even if I (E flat major) wanted to (A flat major)
(A flat major) My love, my love, (E flat major) my love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
Outro 1
She keeps me warm
(E flat major) Love is patient, love is kind
Love is patient, love is kind
(Not crying on Sundays)
[Repeat and fade]
