1.
E B E F#
Birds are calling to sing along
E B E F#
But my window's painted shut
E B E F#
And all that year of chorus taught me
E B E F#
Is out of style and long forgot
chorus
B E F# B
How can I sing like a girl,
E F# B
And not be stigmatized
E F# B E F#
By the rest of the world?
B E F# B E
Tell me how can I sing like a girl,
F# B
And not be objectified
E F#
As if I were a girl?
post chorus
D# G#
I want to raise my freak flag
E E
Higher and higher and
D# G#
I want to raise my freak flag
E
And never be alone
E
Never be alone
