Em                                Am 
when i'm stable long enough 
   D                                 G    (F#m) 
i start to look around for love 
Em                              Am 
see us reaching for a prince 
      D                                  G 
my mind begins the orange mess 
Em                                      Am 
but when i start to feel that pull 
D                                 G 
turns out I just pulled myself 
Em                                   Am 
she would never go with me 
 D                                         G 
we're not all that's good on earth 
G   Bm                C      G 
i'm dumb she's a lesbian 
   C                   G             D 
i thought i had found the one 
Em          Bm         C                   G 
we were good as married in my mind 
       C                  G             D 
but married in my mind's no good 
C     Bm  Am  D        Em 
pink triangle on her sleeve 
C                        G 
let me know the truth 
C        D             G 
let me know the truth 
might of smoked a few in my time 
would never thought it was a crime 
knew the day would surely come 
when i'd chill and settle down 
when i think i've found a good old fashioned girl 
then she put me in my place 
everyone's a little queer 
oh, can't she be a little straight 
i'm dumb she's a lesbian 
i thought i had found the one 
we were good as married in my mind 
but married in my mind's no good 
pink triangle on her sleeve 
let me know the truth 
let me know the truth
