[Intro]
D Bm A G
D Bm A G Gm

[Verse 1]
D Bm A G
Walking around I've got no one to talk to
D Bm A G
There's everyone and then there's just me
D Bm A G
If I could change don't you think that I'd do it
D Bm A G
God only knows why he cursed me to be
Gm Gm/D Gm
a straight white male

[Bridge]
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
I've never been the victim
F# G
of a random search for drugs
D F#
But you can't say my life is easy
G A D
until you've walked a mile in my UGGs

[Chorus]
G A D G A D
Straight white male I know the road looks tough ahead
F#
The women want rights
Bm G
The gays want kids
Gm
Can't you just leave us alone
And also no to the things you asked for

D Bm A G
D Bm A G Gm

[Verse 2]
D Bm A G
Everyone thinks that I've got it easy
D Bm A G
Just 'cause it's true doesn't mean that it's right
D Bm A G
So pull up a chair and put down your pitchfork
D Bm A G
Give me a chance to show you what it's like
Gm
to be a straight white male

[Bridge 2]
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 doesn't mark as spam
Bm
My country's Constitution was
F# G
hand-written by my race
D F#
But my wife bought me the brand new iPhone
G A D
with an iPod Touch's case it doesn't fit that phone

[Chorus]
G A D G A D
Straight white male I know the road looks tough ahead
F#
The women want rights
Bm G
The blacks want not to be called the blacks
Gm
Can't you just leave us alone
F#
And also no to the things you asked for
Nooooooo

G F# Bm (x6)

[Chorus]
G A D G A D
Straight white male I know the road looks tough ahead
F#
The women want rights
Bm G
The African-Ameri-it doesn't work for the rhythm of this song
Gm
We used to have all the money and land
We still do but it's not as fun now

D Bm A G
D Bm A G Gm
