Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)


Verse 1:
              Bb
I work at the mall food court
               Dm
And when I get home
                   F                  Eb
I fix something to eat, settle into my seat
                Bb         F
And turn on the country radio
             F             Bb
I know every word to every song
                    F
And they make these lonely nights a little less long
                        Cm                     Eb
'Cause then I'm under the stars, regular at the bar
              Gm                    F
Got a perfect girl, I got a worn in truck
                  Eb                          F
We go down to the river, and the moonlight is silver
            Eb                 F
But most of all I get to be in love

Chorus:
                Eb                   Bb
I wanna be that boy, I wanna be that girl
                       F
I wanna know what it's like to fall in love
     Eb                      Bb
Like most of the rest of the world
                    Gm                                   Dm
But as far as these songs will take me is as far as I'll go
Bbm       Bb   Eb                 Cm
I'm just a gay kid in a small town
         F           Bb

Verse 2:
Bb
I feel it in old time,
                Dm
I feel it brand new
                Cm                       Eb
The lonesome refrain, the secrets and pain
            Bb                F
Like only a song can know you
                    Bb                             F
But then I close my eyes, it's like I clicked my heels
                 Cm                     Eb
That's me in the story and the story is real
                Gm                        F
It works like a charm, I've got him on my arm
                Eb                         Bb
We're taking a chance on a dance while the band
                   Gm                   F
Plays our favorite song, we're singing along
       Eb                      F
And tonight, he's gonna ask my hand


Chorus:
                Eb                   Bb
I wanna be that boy, I wanna be that girl
                       F
I wanna know what it's like to fall in love
     Eb                      Bb
Like most of the rest of the world
                    Gm                                   Dm
But as far as these songs will take me is as far as I'll go
Bbm       Bb   Eb                 Cm
I'm just a gay kid in a small town
         F           Gm

Bridge:
F                       Gm
And as I'm driving from work
                 Eb                  Bb
The sign at your church says, repent now
             F                        D7
You can't go back to the ways of your past
                 Gm               Eb
So I go twice as fast to turn you on
                   F
So I can live like that

Chorus:
Eb                   Bb
Boy, I wanna be that girl
                       F
I wanna know what it's like to fall in love
     Eb                      Bb
Like most of the rest of the world
                    Gm                                   Dm
But as far as these songs will take me is as far as I'll go
Bbm       Bb   Eb                 Cm
I'm just a gay kid in a small town
         F           Gm
