[Verse]

Eb                           Cm
When I was in the third grade I 
thought I was gay
           Ab                     
'Cause I could draw, an' my uncle 
Eb
was, and I kept my room straight
Eb            Cm
I told my mom tears rushing down my 
face
            Ab                     
She's like "Ben you've loved girls 
 Eb
since before pre-k," trippin'
Eb                   Cm
Yea I guess she had a point didn't 
she?
Ab                   Eb
Bunch of stereotypes all in my head.
Eb                              
I remember doing the math like, "yea
Cm
 I'm good at little league"
Ab                 Eb
A preconceived idea of what it all 
meant

(repeat progression)

For those that liked the same sex
Had the characteristics
The right wing conservatives think 
it's a decision
And you can be cured with some 
treatment and religion
Man made rewiring of a 
predisposition
Playing god, aw nah here we go
America the brave still fears what 
we don't know
And god loves all his children, is 
somehow forgotten
But we paraphrase a book written 
thirty-five-hundred years ago
I don't know


[Chorus]

Eb          Eb      Cm7   Abadd9
And I can't change
   Eb

           Eb     Cm7
Even if I tried
           Abadd9     Eb
Even if I wanted to
             Eb
And I can't change
Cm7       Ab
Even if I tried
Eb         Eb       Cm7
Even if I wanted to
Ab                     Eb
My love, my love, my love
              Eb    Cm7
She keeps me warm
              Ab   Eb
She keeps me warm
              Eb     Cm7
She keeps me warm
              Ab     Eb
She keeps me warm


[Verse 1]

Eb           Cm
If I was gay, I would think hip-hop 
hates me
Cm/Ab                      Eb
Have you read the YouTube comments 
lately
Eb Ebsus4/F Eb/G      Cm
"Man, that's gay" get dropped on the
 daily

We become so numb to what we're 
saying


[Verse 2]

            Eb              Cm
Our culture founded from oppression,
 yet we don't have acceptance for 
'em
Ab                      Eb
Call each other faggots behind the 
keys of a message board
Eb                Cm
A word rooted in hate, yet our genre
 still ignores it
Ab                            Eb
'Gay' is synonymous with the lesser
          Eb                     
It's the same hate that's caused 
Cm
wars from religion
Ab                         Eb
Gender to skin color, the complexion
 of your pigment

(repeat progression)

The same fight that led people to 
walk outs and sit ins
It's human rights for everybody, 
there is no difference!
Live on and be yourself
When I was at church they taught me 
something else
If you preach hate at the service 
those words aren't anointed
That holy water that you soak in has
 been poisoned


[Pre-Chorus]

               Eb         
When everyone else is more 
              Eb/C
comfortable remaining voiceless
             Cm/Ab                 
Rather than fighting for humans 
       Cm7/Bb
that have had their rights stolen
Eb                Gm7
I might not be the same, but that's 
not important
    Ab                            
No freedom till we're equal, damn 
Eb
right I support it


[Instrumental]

Eb Cm7 Abadd9 Eb
Eb Cm7 Abadd9 Eb


[Chorus]

(repeat instrumental progression)

And I can't change
Even if I tried
Even if I wanted to
My love
My love
My love
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm


[Verse 3]

Eb        Cm
And press play, don't press pause
Ab            Eb
Progress, march on
                       Eb
With the veil over our eyes
            Cm
We turn the back on the cause
          Ab                       
Till the day that my uncles can be 
 Eb
united by law

When kids are walking 'round the 
hallway plagued by pain in their 
heart
A world so hateful some would rather
 die than be who they are
And a certificate on paper isn't 
gonna solve it all
But it's a damn good place to start
No law is gonna change us
We have to change us
Whatever god we believe in
We come from the same one


[Bridge]

Eb Gm7
Strip away the fear
          Ab                    Eb
Underneath it's all the same love
About time we raised up

[Chorus]

             Eb  Cm Ab Eb
And I can't change
           Eb   Cm
Even if I tried
           Ab     Eb
Even if I wanted to
             Eb
And I can't change
Eb/C      Ab    Eb
Even if I tried
          Eb       Cm
Even if I wanted to
Ab
My love, my love, my love
(N.C.)
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
She keeps me warm
