Intro: D Bm A G D Bm A G Gm verse 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 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 Bm But you can't say my life is easy G A D until you've walked a mile in my UGGs 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 Bm But my wife bought me the brand new iPhone G A D with an iPod Touch's case (it doesn't fit that phone) 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) 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
