Tonality
DBmAG x2
Gm
Verse:
DBmAG
Walking around, Iʼve got no one to talk to
DBmAG
Thereʼs everyone, and then thereʼs just me
DBmAG
If I could change, donʼt you think that Iʼd do it
DBmAG
God only knows why he cursed me to be
Gm
a straight white male
Pre-chorus:
Bm
I state my problems
F#G
other people roll their eyes
Bm
Three trips to the mall
F#G
and zero khakis in my size
Bm
Iʼve never been the victim
F#G
of a random search for drugs
DBm
But you canʼt say my life is easy
GAD
until youʼve walked a mile in my UGGs
Chorus:
GADGAD
Straight white male, I know the road looks tough ahead
F#
The women want rights
BmG
The gays want kids
Gm
Canʼt you just leave us alone?
And also, no, to the things you asked for
DBmAG x2
Gm
Verse:
DBmAG
Everyone thinks that Iʼve got it easy
DBmAG
Just ʼcause itʼs true, doesnʼt mean that itʼs right
DBmAG
So pull up a chair, and put down your pitchfork
DBmAG
Give me a chance to show you what itʼs like
Gm
to be a straight white male
Pre-chorus:
Bm
The churches never made me
F#G
Feel ashamed of who I am
Bm
But I get e-mails from Netflix
F#G
that g-mail doesnʼt mark as spam
Bm
My countryʼs Constitution was
F#G
hand-written by my race
DBm
But my wife bought me the brand new iPhone
GAD
with an iPod Touchʼs case (it doesnʼt fit that phone)
Chorus:
GADGAD
Straight white male, I know the road looks tough ahead
F#
The women want rights
BmG
The blacks want not to be called the blacks
Gm
Canʼt you just leave us alone?
F#
And also, no, to the things you asked for
Nooooooo
GF#Bm x4
Chorus:
GADGAD
Straight white male, I know the road looks tough ahead
F#
The women want rights
BmG
The African-Ameri-it doesnʼt work for the rhythm of this song
Gm
We used to have all the money and land
We still do but itʼs not as fun now
