[Intro 1]
[Em][C][G][D]
[Em][C][G][D]
[Em][C][G][D]
[Em][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Every time I go [D]to dinner
[G]Seems like I'm getting a [D]little bit thinner
[G]I'll sit down at the [D]breakfast table
[G]I can talk, well, t[D]hey’re not able
[G]When I look at [D]them I find
[G]There's a single question [D]on their mind
I [G]wish it could go back to the [D]way it was
[G]It’s not easy [D]now [D]because

[Chorus 1]
[Em]My whole famil[C]y thinks I'm gay[G]
I guess it’s [D]always been that [Em]way
Maybe it’s [C]‘cause of the way that I [G]walk
Makes them [D]think I like
[Em]boys[C][G][D]
That I [Em]like [C]boys[G][D]

[Verse 2]
The [G]goddamn question just [D]won’t go away
And [G]I get asked every s[D]ingle day
But the [G]way they ask it is [D]not a disguise
Like, [G]“How was your day,
do you like [D]to kiss guys?”
[G]This was the worst, baby, [D]this was my fear
[G]Now their opinions are [D]crystal clear

[Chorus 2]
[Em]Because, my whole [C]family
now is [G]shocked
I’m in the [D]closet and the door is [Em]locked
Now my [C]glory days are [G]gone
I was John [D]Elway, now I’m Elton [Em]John
My whole [C]family now sus[G]pects
Watching [D]SpongeBob had side ef[Em]fects
But I’m not [C]gay and that’s what I [G]said
If I’m [D]gay, hey, God, strike me dead,
[Em]you know ([C]coughing)[G][D]

[Interlude 1]
That's weird
[Em][C][G][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]Just 'cause I'm on the [D]cheerleading team
Or my [G]birthday party had a [D]broadway theme
When I [G]go outside, [D]what do I see?
That the [G]clouds in the sky spell [D]F-A-G[D]

[Chorus 3]
[Em]Because, I think that [C]God
might think I'm [G]gay
What does [D]He know any[Em]way?
My grandma gave me a pre[C]sent just last [G]year
And the card said [D]"Happy birthday, [Em]queer"
My whole [C]family thinks I'm [G]fab
There's a guy's [D]butt, hey Bo, take a [Em]stab

[Interlude 2]
Come on
[Em]Why doesn't he get women?
[C]There's no other way
[G]It's cause I'm lanky,[D]
not cause I'm gay, all right?
[Em][C][G][D]
Not 'cause I'm [Em]gay[C][G][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]Just 'cause I'm a[D]fraid of the snow
Or my [G]favorite color [D]is the rainbow
That was a joke
I [G]don't mean to yell, but I [D]fear I must
'Cause I'm [G]losing the people
that I [D]thought I could trust

[Chorus 4]
[Em]Because, even my [C]boyfriend
thinks I'm [G]gay, just [D]kidding!
[Em][C][G][D]
[Em]You all prob[C]ably think I'm gay
[G]Man, this son[D]g is counterproduc[Em]tive[C]
[G]La la la la.[D]..[D]

[Chorus 5]
Be[Em]cause, my whole [C]family thinks I'm [G]gay
What do [D]they know any[Em]way
You gotta [C]look right through the [G]haze
Easy-Bake [D]Oven was just a [Em]phase
My whole [C]family thinks I'm [G]queer
That is [D]all I ever [Em]hear
But I've [C]been as straight as a [G]ramp
If you [D]don't count Bible camp
[Em][C][G][D]
Bible [Em]camp[C][G]
[D]I'm not gay, I swe[Em]ar
