[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
