When I was younger 
                         F/C 
My daddy told me I would never 
                        C 
Never amount to nothing special 
                           F/C 
He'd come at me from every angle 

He'd say 
           C 
You're the last thing I wanted 

The last thing I need 
F/C 
How am I going to answer 

When my friends tell me 
       Am  G 
My son 
                        F       C 
Was kissing boys in the street 
       Am  G 
My son 
                        F       C 
Was kissing boys in the street? 
            C 
He tried to change me 
                        F/C 
Say I'm embarrassing my country 
                          C 
How could I do this to my family? 
                         F/C 
Do I wanna grow up being lonely? 

He'd say 
   C 
We have worked for our money 

We've put you in school 
        F/C 
Is this how you repay us? 

Do you think this is cool? 
      Am  G 
My son 
                         F        C 
Stop kissing boys in the street 
      Am  G 
My son 
                         F        C 
Stop kissing boys in the street 
             C 
Now that I'm older 
                            F/C 
My daddy's heart's a little warmer 
                                  C 
But he still won't hug me like my brother 
                                  F/C 
And he still won't kiss me like my mother 
He'd say 
        C 
You are part of this family 

I made you myself 
        F/C 
But the way that you act 

Isn't good for your health 
      Am  G 
My son 
                         F       C 
Stop kissing boys in the street 
      Am  G 
My son 
                         F       C 
Stop kissing boys in the street 
           C 
My daddy's dying 
                                  F/C 
But he's finally realized I'm not lying 
                             C 
We sit in silence, but we're smiling 
                             F/C 
Because for once, we are not fighting 

He'd say 
          C 
There was no way of knowing 

'Cause all I was taught 
       F/C 
Is men only love women 

But now I'm not sure 
      Am  G 
My son 
                         F       C 
Keep kissing boys in the street 
      Am  G 
My son 
                         F       C 
Keep kissing boys in the street 
                 Am  G 
And when I'm gone 
                              C/G 
Keep kissing boys in the street
