Verse
G Bm
When I was nine years old, I knew
Em7 D
I had a secret that I never wanted to tell
G Bm
And by 12 years old, it grew
Em7 G
I prayed to God and asked him, please don't send me to Hell
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7 Em7 D
So I tried to fit in the mold that I was given, oh
Am7 Em7 D
I put on a dress, sat in the front pew and listened
And I listened
[Chorus]
C D
All I ever wanted
Is to fall in love
Em
Like everyone else
G
And not hate myself
C D
All I ever wanted
Is to fall in love
Em
Like everyone else
G
And not hate myself
C
All I ever
D
All, all I ever
Em G
All, all I ever wanted
[Verse 2]
Bm
When I was 16, I was lost
Em7 D
Swore I liked this boy, but I just wanted his girlfriend
G Bm
And at 18, I begged God
Em7 Dsus4 D
To make me straight but all I ever heard back was silence
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7 Em7 D
So I tried to fit in the mold that I was given, oh
Am7 Em7 D
I put on a dress, sat in the front pew and listened
And I listened
[Chorus]
C D
All I ever wanted
Is to fall in love
Em
Like everyone else
G
And not hate myself
C D
All I ever wanted
Is to fall in love
Em
Like everyone else

And not hate myself

All I ever

All, all I ever

All, all I ever wanted

Am Bm
A year ago, I was still crying every night
Am Bm
Asking God to take away these feelings I can't fight
Am Bm
And then I felt all my shame wash away
Am D
As I heard God say, "I made you to love this way"
[Chorus]
C D
All I ever wanted
Is to fall in love
Em
Like everyone else
G
And not hate myself
C D
All I ever wanted
Is to fall in love
Em
Like everyone else
G
And not hate myself
C
All I ever
D
All, all I ever
Em G
All, all I ever wanted
C
All I ever
D
All, all I ever
Em G
All, all I ever wanted
