verse 1 
Am                  F 
I first heard Frank say 
   Am                         G 
He wanted to dress like Faye Wray 
  F           G       E/G#         Am 
I wanted that too but what could I do 
   F           C          G 
In junior high school in LA? 

Am                      F 
My heart skipped in the scene 
            Am                    G 
He said you gotta be it, not just dream 
   F       G            E/G#        Am 
It was a taboo I knew I wouldn't pursue 
  F               C      G 
I didn't have the self-esteem 


  C                    G/B 
I gotta confess that I like to cross dress 
              Am                    F 
And I've been doing it since I was 13 
     C                          G/B 
It's hard to tell bros that you wear women's clothes 
     D                         G 
Even in the “open-minded” punk scene 
      F                    G 
You'd probably get hurt in heels and a skirt 
            C             G/B         Am      G 
When you're in the middle of a circle pit 
       F                       G                       Am 
So I'd only wear panties under boxers to keep it all a secret 
        F                            G 
Now I'm telling everyone 'cause it's fun and I don't give a shit

verse 2 
Am         F 
Forward 30 years 
  Am                 G 
I still had the same fears 
       F     G            E/G#         Am 
Then I saw Hedwig play at Bilgewater's gig 
      F             C        G 
And I felt the same envy and tears 
Am              F 
I decided right there 
Am                     G 
I can't be bothered to care 
     F            G                E Gm         Am 
What other people think, I'm gonna dye my pubes pink 
    F                C          Am 
And throw out all my Hanes underwear 


    C                      G/B 
I'm not transgender, I'm a lazy crossdresser 
           Am                         F 
Who thinks makeup is too much of an ordeal 
  C                      G/B 
I paint my toes and wear shiny tight clothes 
            D                         G 
Not for the look, but how it makes me feel 
        F                             G 
I don't need things just right, I'm a tranvest-lite 
       C               G/B                Am         G 
I only shave to do the Time Warp midnight Saturday 
    F                            G 
I'm done with self-pity, I don't have to feel shitty 
         E/G#                    Am                           F 
'Cause I wanna look pretty, so I give it the old city College try 
             G                         Am 
Don't get me wrong, I still wanna be a guy 
              F                     G 
Who sometimes likes to dress like a girl 
            E/G#                         Am 
(He sometimes likes to wear diamonds and pearls) 
                    F                    G 
Don't think I don't know I'm not fooling anyone 
                      E/G#                  Am 
(He's a cross between Adele and Charlie Chaplin) 
                    F                 G 
You gotta know it's not just girls 
                    C 
who just wanna have fun!
