Intro: G Em Am C G Em Am C Verse 1: G I never wanted to be a princess Em I never asked anyone to braid my hair Am C I never asked my mom to buy me things that I saw on the TV marketed towards girls G I never wanted to wear a dress Em And I was never obsessed Am With the color pink, or sparkling things C Or unicorns or xxxxxxx fairy wings Am C G Gender never really meant that much to me Am C G Til' people started telling me how it was supposed to be Am C G Til' the people that I loved started to say Chorus: Am C G Boys don't talk that way Am C G Boys don't dress that way Am C G Boys don't act that way Interlude: G Em Am C G Em Am C Verse 2: G You see the problem I have with gender Em Is that I'm not even sure whether Am C I know what I mean when I say I'm a girl because I feel that way G 'Cause boys can wear dresses and makeup Em Anyone can wear whatever they want Am Girls can have short hair and muscles C And that's where I run into trouble G 'Cause if I use she pronouns, well, what does that mean Em Am I reinforcing a gender binary Am That I don't believe in That I don't adhere to C I say I'm a woman, what's that supposed to tell you Am C G Gender doesn't tell you a damn thing about me Am C G Doesn't tell you what I like or how I act, it doesn't tell you how I speak Am C G The people you love, they don't love you if they say Chorus: Am C G Boys don't talk that way Am C G Boys don't dress that way Am C G Boys don't act that way Bridge: Am C And I think it's time that our culture moves past G Em This xxxxxx up notion of the way we act Am C Is it dictated at birth or that we have to choose G Em It's an imposed binary, either way we lose Am So do what you want C And dress how you feel G Em Don't let anyone tell you that gender is real Am C It's useless, oppressive, and boring G Em Worthless, and hurtful, and stifling Am C G Em I think it's time that we put it in its place Am C G Em So come on let's force gender into an early grave Am C G Em I never again want to hear anyone say Chorus: Am C G Boys don't act that way Am C G Girls don't act that way Am C G Boys don't act that way Am C G Boys don't act that way
