Verse 1
in my younger years
Walking to the city pool
Am
Got yelled at, called a faggot
From this kid I knew in school
Verse 2
F
His dad, and dad before him
lived outside of town
Am
With a lack of education
The options weren't around
Verse 3
F
times I'd see that boy in class
With bruises on his eyes
Am
Red and pretty swollen
Tears tangled up in pride
Verse 4
F
Repeating memorized rhetoric
About it being God's way
Am
And if I didn't follow the good book
There'd be some hell to pay
Verse 5
Dm
But I don't blame you
for how you turned out
Am
A habit's hard to break
G
You're were born into what you became
Am
And I was born this way
Dm
I can try to show compassion
Am
Before you take that shot
...Whether I like it or not
F

Verse 6
F
Driving back from a party
With friends on Saturday night
Am
I slowed down to a wreckage
In the coldest part of night
Verse 7
F
That boy who called me faggot
Lie bleeding, almost dead
Am
He wrecked that truck from drinking
And the windshield met his head
Verse 8
F
him from the driver seat
C
F
Said help is on its way
Am
Put my hand up upon his chest
Said it'll be okay
Verse 9
F
When he focused on my likeness
I could see it in his eyes
Am
Everything he'd been taught
to hate
Would finally save his life
Verse 10
F
And the irony about this
I told him with a smile
in stranger ways
than your heart will allow
Verse 11
F
He caught his breath between the tears
His eyes bloodshot and dim
Am
His rebel- flag, tattooed hand,
holding mine to him
He said...
Verse 12
Dm
Please don't blame me for how I turned out,
Am
I learned a little late
G
I was born into what I became
Am
G
Am
And you were born this way
Dm
I can try to show compassion
Am
That might be all I've got
Am
...Whether I like it or not
