When [Dm] I was young, my dad would [C] treat my mom real bad.
[Bb] Every time the Utah [C] Jazz would lose,
[Dm] he'd start a-drinkin' [C] and I'd start a [Bb]-thinkin'.
How am I gonna [Gm] keep my [Am] mom from [F] getting abused?
[Bb] I'd see her all scared and my [Am] soul was dyin'.

[Bb] for the new [Gm] iPhone [Am] at the [F] Apple Store.
[Bb] She lay there dying with [Am] my father and mother.

[Dm] I was [Gm] having really [Am] strange feelings [F] for Steve.
[Bb] I thought about us on a [Am] deserted island.
We'd [Bb] swim naked in the sea.

Good for you!
[Bb] My hetero [C] side [F] just won.
[Gb] [Gm] I'm all better [E] now.
[Bb] Boys should be with girls, [F] that's Heavenly [C] Father's plan.
