Dysphoria

[Intro] G  C9

[First Part]

G                                     C9
Binding my chest and biting my tongue
Em7                               C9
Wearing boxers never fixed anyone
G                                        C9
Biking on Bloor could have had me beaten
Em7
It’s a risk I’ll take
                   C9
I feel so defeated

[Chorus]

G

Dysphoria

Dysphoria
G
And this is the last time
       C9
I’ll allow my ribs to be swollen
           Em7
And I’ll grow out my hair

And pretend I don’t care
    C9
And maybe my ribs are broken

Continues after the ad
[Second Part]

G
Being young and gay

Is romantic and upsetting
C9
Explaining why you love someone to God, She keeps forgetting
           Em7
She said “gender is a universe and we are all stars”
        C9
And I believed Her

Because this planet is bigger than us
               G
Someday we'll leave Her

[Chorus]

    G
And this is the last time
       C9
I’ll allow my ribs to be swollen
         Em7
And I’ll get a little thin but I’ll feel better in my skin
     C9
And baby, my ribs don’t feel broken

[Bridge]

     G
This body's made for loving

It’s not a place for betting
           C9
Let’s run around and get all sweaty

I wanna feel myself get healthy
Em7
Dysphoria’s a bitch

I wanna kick her in a ditch
          C9
It’s not fair to wanna itch

All of the places that don't fit

[Chorus]

G

Dysphoria
Em7
And this is the last time
C9                       G
I’ll allow my ribs to be swollen
