Don't be gay in Indiana

Big heads up, That's a really stupid plan

          F      G          C
There are places where it's in to be out

       F      G          C
Maybe San Francisco or there about

       F      G     Am     D7
But in Indiana, without a doubt,

   C          G
If you're not straight,

      Am          G        D7      Bdim7
then guess what's bound to hit the fan

[Chorus 1]

Just breathe, Emma

Not everyone is that repressed

D7
Just breathe, Emma

   G
It wouldn't be high school without a test

D                        E
Just close your eyes and count to ten

Am               D
Go to your happy place, and then

Try not to combust

     C
Just breathe

BOY 1 (spoken) Hey, Emma! So, who is this girl you were gonna bring to the prom, anyway? Like, I didn't know we had more than one lesbo in town. EMMA (spoken) You don't know her. She's new here. BOY 2 (spoken) Like an exchange student? EMMA (spoken) Maybe. BOY 1 (spoken) Whoa! Then why don't you just, like, exchange her...for a guy? BOY 2 (spoken) Dude, nice! [Verse 2] EMMA (sung)

People suck in Indiana

Leave today

F        G               C
Pray the Greyhound isn’t full

         F      G     C
Who knew asking out a girl to the prom

         F      G           C
Would go over just like an atom bomb

          F          G               Am      D7
And make things much worse with your dad and mom

    C          G    Am
And who'd have ever thought

That could be possible

[Chorus]

F/G            F
Just breathe, Emma

Picture a beach with golden sand

Just breathe, Emma

G
Picture a Xanax in your hand

    D
Try journaling

   E
Or start a blog

 Am                 D7
Just end this inner monologue

F
Seethe, if you must

G         C
But just breathe

MR. HAWKINS (spoken) Okay, I just got off the phone with the states attorney. Like I suspected she thinks this is a civil rights issue. This is a big deal Emma. EMMA (spoken) Oh s**t…sorry MR. HAWKINS (spoken) We’ll get through it. Take a sec, relax. Come in when you're ready. EMMA(sung)

F/G           F
Just breathe, Emma

Remember that thing called oxygen

Just breathe, Emma

G
Look at the crazy state you’re in

Just smile and nod

Although they’re jerks

 Am              D7
Say namaste and pray it works

    F
And like we’ve discussed

G           C
Just breathe
