Verse 1:
B                    G#m
  Do you know how it feels
      F#         B
to be not enough? To be
         G#m     F#
parts of many instead
        B
of just one? A whole
G#m           F#
less than the sum of
    B             G#m
its parts? A path cut
            F#
through the pavement
B                   G#m
  All the best laid plans
   F#        B
of terrified men laid out
   G#m          F#
in concrete and flattened
B              G#m
  They lead to nowhere
F#     B
no one needs for the
G#m        F#
sake of propriety.


Refrain 1:
E              F#
  It took more courage
             B F#/Bb
than I had to  say this
    G#m
and not look back.


Chorus 1:
B       F#      E
  I can hear it plain
       B
in the subtext
B             F#
  You’re just lying
E              F#
  You’re just scared
B        F#   E
  People like that
           B
they don’t exist
B          F#      E   F#
  But I’m standing here

Verse 2:
B                 G#m
  I remember that night
           F#
when I was twelve
B
  Nervously I told my
G#m           F#
mother what I felt
B
  When she told me it
    G#m
was wrong she thought
      F#    B
she’d helped I thought
the same ashamed of
    G#m           f#
the hand that I’d been
     B
dealt All the help that
G#m     F#
I could hope to find
B
  on every path from the
G#m           F#
narrow to the wide
B                  G#m
  told me I had to choose
    F#         B
Men just don’t like
both women and men
           G#m
Now you’ve gotta
       F#
pick a side


Refrain 2:
E
  It took me thirty
    F#
odd years to realize
B
  I should just
F#/Bb     G#m
follow my pride.


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Interlude: B E F# x2


Bridge:
B
  I just want those
    E          F#
who love me to know
  B       E
me I just want
   F#     E   F#
to know myself
