[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Em                     G
I always knew I wasn't totally straight

    C                             A
Cos sometimes girls would make me stop and wait

      Em                               G
But I never admitted it to myself till I saw her.

        C
Sitting outside my history class

         A
With her dyed red hair.
[Chorus]
Em
I'm not a faggot,

       G
I just wanna date boys and girls.

        C
I don't mean any harm

      A
But I hate how their lips curl.

     Em
So I guess I'll hide who I am

     G
To avoid the ridicule

        C
So that I can fit in

          A
With everybody else at school.
[Verse 2]
  Em                         G
I told a girl that I thought was my friend

      C
But I guess that I was wrong

    A
Cos now I'm all alone.

Em
Queer gets whispered

       G
Behind hands when I walk.

       C
That's really not all I am

            A
But I don't have the courage to talk.
[Chorus]
Em
I'm not a faggot,

       G
I just wanna date boys and girls.

        C
I don't mean any harm

      A
But I hate how their lips curl.

     Em
So I guess I'll hide who I am

     G
To avoid the ridicule

        C
So that I can fit in

          A
With everybody else at school.
[Verse 3]
    Em                  G
And it's no easier when I get home

      C
Cos I haven't told my parents

        A
I don't think they'll ever know.

  Em
I wish I could tell them

      G
About who I really am

      C
But I don't have the courage.

       A
That's not who I've become.
[Chorus]
Em
I'm not a faggot,

       G
I just wanna date boys and girls.

        C
I don't mean any harm

      A
But I hate how their lips curl.

     Em
So I guess I'll hide who I am

     G
To avoid the ridicule

        C
So that I can fit in

          A
With everybody else at school.
[Outro]
   Em
So what if I'm a faggot

    G
I'm gonna date boys and girls.

        C
I'm not doing any harm

        A
So fuck off with your lip curl.

         Em
Why do I have to hide who I am

   G
To avoid your ridicule?

      C
Maybe I don't wanna fit in

          A
With everybody else at school.
