Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for Bo Burnham!
Uh, thanks.
Um
Welcome to my show, it's called, uh,
If You Sing Along I'll Fucking Kill You.
Uh, this is the song.
[D]
[G] Every time [D] I go to [G] dinner
[D] Seems like I'm getting a little bit thinner
[G] I'll sit [D] down at the breakfast table
I can talk, they're not able
But when I look at them I [G] find
There's a [D] single question on their mind
I [G] [D] wish it could go back to the way it [G] was
It's not easy [D] now because
[Em] My [C] whole family thinks I'm [G] gay
I guess it's [D]
always been that [E] way
Maybe [C] it's cause of the way [G] that I walk
Makes [D] them think I [Em] like boys
[C]
[G] And I [Em] like girls
[C] [G]
[D] [G] The goddamn question just won't go away
[D] And I get asked every single day
But the way they ask it is not a disguise
Like, uh, how was your day?
Do you like to [E] kiss guys?
That's [G] funny.
[D] This is the worst, maybe this was my [G] fear
Now their opinions [D] are crystal clear
[Em] Because my [C] whole family now [G] is shocked
I'm in the closet [Em] and the door is locked
Now [C] my glory days are [G]
gone
I was John Elway, [Em] now I'm Elton John
My [C] whole family now [G] suspects
That [E] watching Spongebob [Em] had side [Am] effects
[C] I'm not gay and that's what I said
[D] If I'm gay, hey God, [Em] strike me dead, you know?
[N]
[Em]
[C] [G]
[D]
Just cause I'm afraid of the [G] snow
Or my favorite [D] color is the
[N] rainbow
I
[G] don't mean to yell, but I [D] fear I must
[G] Cause I'm losing the people [D] that I thought I could trust
[Em] Because even [C] my boyfriend thinks [G] I'm gay
[D]
[Em] Motherfucker
[C]
[D] [Em]
You [C] all probably think I'm [G] gay
Man, [D] this song is [Em]
[Am] counterproductive
[C] [G]
La la [D] la la la la
[Em] Because my [C] whole family thinks [G] I'm gay
[D] What if they know anyway?
[C] You gotta look right through [G] the haze
Easy Bake Oven [Em] was just a phase
[A]
And my [C] whole family thinks [G] I'm queer
That [D] is all I ever [Em] hear
[C]
But I've been as straight as [G] a ramp
[D] If you don't count [Em] Bible Camp
[D]
[G]
[N]
[F] Thanks for [B] coming out
Hey, so those ASU girls are pretty hot
Any of you?
[N] Okay, this isn't a great example, but Um
I'm just kidding, it's a year in the dark
I couldn't see you, I bet you're gorgeous in the dark
Um
[E]
You like my shirt?
[C] Um, back home they call me the tie-dye shirt kid
Well, that and faggot
Uh, thanks.
