Verse 1
[Am] [D7] [G] [Em]
"Baby, I don't feel so good", 6 words you never understood
[Am] [D7] [G] [Em]
"I'll never let you go", 5 words you'll never say
[Am] [D7] [G] [Em]
I laugh along like nothing's wrong, 4 days has never felt so long
[Am] [D7] [G] [Em]
If 3's a crowd and 2 is us, 1 slipped away
Chorus
[Am] [D7] [G] [Em]
I just wanna make you feel okay
[Am] [D7] [G] [Em]
But all you do is look the other way
[Am] [D7] [G] [Em]
I can't tell you how much I wish I didn't wanna stay
[Am] [D7] [G] [Em]
But I just kinda wish you were gay
Verse 2
[Am] [D7]
Is there a reason we're not through
[G] [Em]
Is there a 12 step just for you
[Am] [D7]
Our conversation's all in blue
[G] [Em]
11 heys
[Am] [D7]
10 fingers pulling on my hair
[G] [Em]
9 times you never made it there
[Am] [D7] [G] [Em]
I ate alone at 7, 6 minutes away
Chorus
[Am] [D7] [G] [Em]
How'm I s'posed to make you feel okay
[Am] [D7] [G] [Em]
When all you do is walk the other way
[Am] [D7] [G] [Em]
I can't tell you how much I wish I didn't wanna stay
[Am] [D7] [G] [Em]
I just kinda wish you were gay
Bridge
[Am] [D7]
To spare my pride
[G] [Em]
To give your lack of interest an explanation
[Am] [D7]
I'm not your type
[G] [Em]
Maybe I'm not your preferred gender orientation
[Am] [D7] [G] [Em]
I'm so selfish but you make me feel helpless
[Am] [D7]
And I can't stand another day
[G] [Em]
I can't stand another day
Chorus
[Am] [D7] [G] [Em]
I just wanna make you feel okay
[Am] [D7] [G] [Em]
But all you do is look the other way
[Am] [D7] [G] [Em]
I can't tell you how much I wish I didn't wanna stay
[Am] [D7] [G] [Em]
I just kinda wish you were gay
[Am] [D7] [G]
I just kinda wish you were gay
