If I were a boy, [B] [F#]
even [C#] just for a [D#m] day, [B] [F#]
[C#] I'd roll out [D#m] of bed in [B] the morning and [F#] throw on
what [C#] I wanted and [D#m] go [B] drink [F#]
[C#] beer with the [D#m] [B] guys and [F#]
[C#] chase after [D#m] [B] girls.
[F#]
[C#] I'd [D#m] kick it with who [B] I wanted and [F#] I never [C#] could confront it for [D#m] it, cause [B] they stick up for [F#] me.
[C#] If I were [D#m] [B] [F#]
[C#] [D#m] [B] [F#]
[C#] how [D#m] it feels to love [B] a boy, [F#] I swear I'd be [D#m] offended.
[B] [F#]
[C#] I'd listen to [D#m] her [B] [F#]
[D#m] [B] [F#]
when [D#m] you lose the one [B] you wanted, but [F#] he's taking you for granted.
[B] And everything you had got destroyed.
If I were [D#m] a boy, [F#]
I [C#] would turn off my [D#] phone, [B] [F#]
[C#] [D#m] tell everyone [B] it's broken,
[F#] so they think that [C#] I was sleeping [D#m] alone.
[B] [F#]
[C#] I'd put myself [D#m] [B] first [F#]
and make [C#] the rules as I [D#m] go,
[F#]
[C#] [D#m] cause I know that [B] she'd be faithful, [F#]
waiting for [C#] me to [D#m] come home.
[F#] Come home.
[C#] If I were, [D#m] [B] [F#]
I think [C#] I'd [D#m] understand.
[B] [F#] Oh, [C#] I [D#m] would refuse to [B] love a girl, [F#] I swear I'd [C#] be a better [D#m] man.
[B] [F#]
[C#] I'd listen [D#m] to her, [B] [F#]
[C#] cause when [D#m] [B] [F#]
[C#] [D#m] you lose the [B] one you wanted,
[F#] he's taking [C#] you for granted.
[F#] And everything you had got destroyed.
[G#m] [B] It's a little [F#] too late for [C#] you to [G#m] come back, [B] say it's just a [D#m] mistake,
think [C#] I forgive you [G#m] like that.
[B] If you thought [D#m]
I'd wait for [C#] you, you [B] thought wrong,
[F#]
but you're just [D#m] a boy, [B]
[F#] [C#] you don't [D#m] understand.
[F#] Yeah, you don't understand.
[C#] [D#m] Oh, it feels too [B] love a girl, [F#] someday you wish you [C#] were a better [D#m] man.
[B]
[F#] [C#] You don't listen [D#m] to her, [B]
[F#] [C#] you don't care,
[D#m] [B]
[F#] [C#] [D#m] [B]
[F#] cause you're taking [C#] her for granted.
[B] And everything you had got destroyed.
[D#m] But you're just a boy.
