Verse
C Em
When I was nine years old, I knew
Am7 G
I had a secret that I never wanted to tell
C Em
And by 12 years old, it grew
Am7 C
I prayed to God and asked him, please don't send me to Hell
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm7 Am7 G
So I tried to fit in the mold that I was given, oh
Dm7 Am7 G
I put on a dress, sat in the front pew and listened
And I listened
[Chorus]
F G
All I ever wanted
Is to fall in love
Am
Like everyone else
C
And not hate myself
F G
All I ever wanted
Is to fall in love
Am
Like everyone else
C
And not hate myself
F
All I ever
G
All, all I ever
Am C
All, all I ever wanted
[Verse 2]
Em
When I was 16, I was lost
Am7 G
Swore I liked this boy, but I just wanted his girlfriend
C Em
And at 18, I begged God
Am7 Gsus4 G
To make me straight but all I ever heard back was silence
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm7 Am7 G
So I tried to fit in the mold that I was given, oh
Dm7 Am7 G
I put on a dress, sat in the front pew and listened
And I listened
[Chorus]
F G
All I ever wanted
Is to fall in love

Like everyone else

And not hate myself

All I ever wanted
Is to fall in love

Like everyone else

All, all I ever

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