They think I‘m a witch they think I‘m vile.
G                                  Bb
They said, “Girl, you’ll hang. You must confess!”

So, I lied and said, “Yes, I am possessed.”

You held it in. (I held it in.)
    D         F#m             D
But Mary you lied. (I held it in.)

Blondeboi:
D
Today was a tough day for me.
F#m
I was just on my way to have a talk with my parents.

Diwatta:

D
What kind of talk, Abraham?

Blondeboi:
F#m
Oh, you know. I just wanted to share with them that
D
I’m a little different. That, I love them, but I also
F#m
love the way army men look. In and out of their uniforms.

Diwatta:
D
Wow, too bad there’s no place for you to share your feelings.
F#m
Why don’t you join the recycling club?
D
You don’t have to talk about what’s on your mind when you can recycle.
F#m
Do you want my advice, Abraham?

Blondeboi:

Yes, Mary Warren.

Diwatta:

        D                     F#m
Hold it in! (I wanna share my feelings.)
     D               F#m           D                 F#m
No, don’t be obscene. Just hold it in! (But my voice matters.)
    D                F#m
Not if you’re a teen. Swallow your feelings.
          G                                        C
Don’t you wanna run the country someday? (Yes! You think I can do it?)
                           G
Not if you’re gay! (Mary, speaking my mind is not a sin!)
C                    D

Keep your feelings inside. Just hold it in!
               Cm
(Girl, I can’t lie.) Please don’t riff.

Blondeboi:

     A
If I hold it in, I’ll lose my bravery.

       D
If you hold it in, you will end slavery.

You win! (I win.)
