Intro: C   Csus2   C   Csus2 

Verse:
C 
When I was younger
                         F
My daddy told me I would never
                        C 
Never amount to nothing special
                           F
He'd come at me from every angle

Chorus:
                      C 
He'd say, "You're the last thing I wanted, the last thing I need
F
How am I gonna answer when my friends tell me
   Am      G                   F       C 
My son was kissing boys in the street
   Am      G                   C 
My son was kissing boys in the street"

Verse:
            C 
He tried to change me
                         F
Said I'm embarrassing my country
                          C 
How could I do this to my family
                         F
Do I wanna grow up being lonely

Chorus:
                 C 
He'd say, "We've worked for our money, we've put you in school
        F
Is this how you repay us? Do you think this is cool?
   Am        G                   F       C 
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
   Am        G                   C 
My son, stop kissing boys in the street"

Interlude: C F C F

Verse:
             C 
Now that I'm older
                            F
My daddy's heart's a little warmer
                                   C 
But he still won't hold me like my brother
                                   F
And he still won't kiss me like my mother

Chorus:
                   C 
He said, "You're a part of this family, I made you myself
        F
But the way that you act isn't good for your health
   Am        G                   F       C 
My son, stop kissing boys in the street
   Am        G                   C 
My son, stop kissing boys in the street"

Bridge:
C     F   Am   G
Oooooooo
C     F   Am   G
Ohhhhhhh

Verse:
           C 
My daddy's dying
                                  F
And he's finally realized I'm not lying
                              C 
We sit in silence but we're smiling
                            F
Because for once we are not fighting

Chorus:
                    C 
He said, "There was no way of knowing 'cause all I was taught
       F
Is men only love women, but now I'm not sure
   Am        G                   Fadd9     C 
My son, keep kissing boys in the street
G   Am        G                   Fadd9     C 
My  son, keep kissing boys in the street
     G   Am   G                         C 
When I'm gone, keep kissing boys in the street"
