Dysphoria Chords

* single strum
 
[Intro]
G C Em C
 
 
[Verse 1]
G                      C
Binding my chest and biting my tongue
Em C
G                    C
Wearing boxers never fixed anyone
Em C
G                     C
Biking on Bloor could have had me
beaten
Em C
G
It’s a risk I’ll take
       C
I feel so defeated
Em C
 
[Chorus]
G      C
Dysphoria
Em     C
Dysphoria
G      C
Dysphoria
Em     C
Dysphoria
G                   C
And this is the last time
Em                       C
I’ll allow my ribs to be swollen
G
And I’ll grow out my hair
C
And pretend I don’t care
Em                     C
And maybe my ribs are broken
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
Being young and gay
C
Is romantic and upsetting
Em
Explaining why you love someone to
C
God, She keeps forgetting
G
She said “gender is a universe and we
        C
are all stars”
                Em
And I believed Her
                                   C
Because this planet is bigger than us
                    G
Someday we'll leave Her
 
 
[Chorus]
C
-phoria
Em     C
Dysphoria
G      C
Dysphoria
Em      C
Dysphoria
 G                    C
And this is the last time
Em                      C
I’ll allow my ribs to be swollen
G
And I’ll get a little thin but I’ll
                  C
feel better in my skin
Em                            C
And baby, my ribs don’t feel broken
 
 
[Bridge] (mute all)
 
This body's made for loving
 
It’s not a place for betting
 
Let’s run around and get all sweaty
 
I wanna feel myself get healthy
G
Dysphoria’s a bitch
C
I wanna kick her in a ditch
Em
It’s not fair to wanna itch
C
All of the places that don't fit
 
 
[Chorus]
G      C
Dysphoria
Em    C
Dysphoria
G*                   C*
And this is the last time
Em*                      C*
I’ll allow my ribs to be swollen
