_ When I was younger, my daddy told [F] me I would never, _ never amount [C] to nothing special.

_ [C] _ [Am] My son [G] was kissing boys in the street.
[C] _ _ He'd try to change me, say I'm embarrassing [F] my country.
How could I do [C] this to my family?

Do you think this is cool?

But he still won't hug [C] me like my brother.

[C] daddy's dying, and he's finally [F] realized I'm not lying.
We sit in [C] silence but we're smiling.
