Becoming Myself chords by Domo Wilson

INTRO:   A F#m D A E F#m D A

VERSE:
A
People tell me that i'm...
F#m
Going to hell if I don't change
D
That liking the same sex is wrong
A
And really kinda strange


E                       F#m
That I should find a man and possibly get engaged
D

Find a father for my son
A
And live holy, everyday

A                         F#m
But they don't understand the pain that comes with those words
D                        A
Should I listen to the world? Or should I put myself first
E                   F#m
I remember waking up from the pain and the hurt
F#m                 D
Several suicide attempts...
A
Cause I didn't know my worth

A            F#m
Popped pills behind the wheel my life I was fighting
D                 A
Thank god i'm alive! Man I was only 19...
E                     F#m
Tried to go to church, but they told me I was wrong
D
Didn't feel like I belonged
A
So I took myself home

A
Anxiety if I die...
F#m                           D                  A
Will I go to heaven? Does god love me? Even though I love women
E                 F#m
I remember crying in my car wanting to end it all
D                   A
Then I thought about my future as I let my tears fall...




VERSE:
A                               F#m
Fast forward i'm engaged with a son
D                         A
I learned to love myself and don't listen to anyone
E
This is for anyone
F#m
Who just doesn't feel supported
D
Give yourself time
A
You are freaking loved and so important

A         F#m
If you wanna cry it out, cry it out

It's okay!
D                             A
No matter if you're straight, bi, trans, queer, or gay
E                      F#m
You are worth it and you're beautiful
F#m
You're far from the usual
D                        A
Your life is oh so worth it because you are freaking perfect how you are

VERSE:
A
15 years old
F#m
I wrote my mom a letter
D                         A
It was National Coming Out day so I felt a little better
E                        F#m
I said, if she loves me she will accept me for who I am
D                      A
So I wrote her a note and left it on her nightstand...

A
I said
A
Mommy I love you
F#m
Thank you for all you've done
D               A
I just wanna say i'm gay I don't wanna hurt anyone
E              F#m
I hope I didn't disappoint you...
F#m
I hope you don't cry
D                     A
I hope you still love me even though I don't like guys
