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

[Chorus]
                      C/G                                            
He'd say, "You're the last thing I wanted, the last thing I need
F                                               
How am I gonna answer when my friends tell me
   Am      G                   F       C/G                     
My son was kissing boys in the street
   Am      G                   C/G                     
My son was kissing boys in the street"

[Verse]
            C/G                                            
He tried to change me
                         F                               
Said I'm embarrassing my country
                          C/G                             
How could I do this to my family
                         F                               
Do I wanna grow up being lonely

[Chorus]
                 C/G                                                 
He'd say, "We've worked for our money, we've put you in school
        F                                                
Is this how you repay us? Do you think this is cool?
   Am        G                   F       C/G                          
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
   Am        G                   C/G                          
My son, stop kissing boys in the street"

[Verse]
             C/G                                           
Now that I'm older
                            F                            
My daddy's heart's a little warmer
                                   C/G                     
But he still won't hold me like my brother
                                   F                     
And he still won't kiss me like my mother

[Chorus]
                   C/G                                              
He said, "You're a part of this family, I made you myself
        F                                                
But the way that you act isn't good for your health
   Am        G                   F       C/G                   
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
   Am        G                   C/G                        
My son, stop kissing boys in the street"

[Verse]
           C/G                                             
My daddy's dying
                                  F                      
And he's finally realized I'm not lying
                              C/G                          
We sit in silence but we're smiling
                            F                            
Because for once we are not fighting

[Chorus]                                                      
                    C/G                                             
He said, "There was no way of knowing 'cause all I was taught
       F                                                 
Is men only love women, but now I'm not sure
   Am        G                   Fadd9     C/G                   
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
G/B Am        G                   Fadd9     C/G

     G/B Am   G                         C/G                   
When I'm gone, keep kissing boys in the street"
