[Verse 1]
    G         Am         C
My mom turned 18 in the 1960's
     Em         D         C
And she doesn’t remember Stonewall
G          Am                 C
 And to be fair she can’t have known
 I’d be her kid
          Em                D
That the bricks launched at police
        C
Would compel me to exist
        G          Am
And I think about that now
          C
down the ballot


Em              D
 For the ones I love and
        C
I don’t know yet
Em     D
I voted for
C
You

[Chorus]

          G        Am       C
Oh what a terrible honor it is
                 G        Am      
To watch the sky fall as a 
   C
character witness
                G           Am    
And I spent the rest of the night 
         C
freaking out
             G            Am      
I had to get high just to put 
   C
myself down

C


    Em     D
But I woke up for
C
You

C

[Verse 2]
Em              G
   And I cut my hair
Am           C
  'Cause I’m worth it
          Em                G     
And these days I believe in big 
             Am
foot more than God
                C
Cause who’s he hurting?


Em           G
 I grew up a preacher's kid
         Am           C
Cleaning up after communions
   Em                   G         
I know that a church is not a way 
   Am
to live
                C
It's a weekly reunion

[Bridge]
   G           Am          C
My best friend found God so we lost 
touch
          G               D       
I guess a Savior beats a friend 
               C
who thinks you’re good enough
G            Am             C
  I hope she finds love and peace
G           Am             C
  And if her kid comes out I hope 
that she calls me


[Chorus]
           G       Am         C
Oh what a terrible honor it's been
                 G            
To learn that my blessings are 
 Am              C
things you call sins
               G          Am 
I’ll spend the rest of my life 
          C
tearing down
               G         Am     
The Jesus from Texas you put in a 
   C
crown

C

    Em      D
But I won’t give up
C
On you
