[D#m] 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 [F#] and throw on what [C#] I wanted and [D#m] go
[B]
[F#] [C#] Drink beer with the [D#m] [B] guys
[F#] [C#] and chase after [D#m] [B] girls
[F#] [C#] I'd [D#m] kick it with who [B] I wanted [F#] and I never [C#] could confront it for [D#m] it
[B] Cause they'd stick up for [F#] me
[C#] If I were, [D#m] [B]
[F#] [C#] [D#m] [B]
[F#] [C#] I [D#m] would feel to love [B] a girl, [F#] I swear [C#] I'd be a feminist
[D#m] [B] And
[F#] [C#] I'd listen to [D#m] her
[B]
[F#] When [C#] [D#m] [B]
[F#] [C#] [D#m] you lose the one [B] you wanted cause [F#] he's [C#] taking you for granted
[B] And everything you had got destroyed
[D#m] If I were a boy, [B] I [F#] [G#] would turn off my [D#m] phone
[B]
[F#] [C#] [F#] Tell everyone [B] it's broken [F#] so they'd think that [C#] I was sleeping [D#m] alone
[B] I'd [F#] [C#] put myself [D#m] [B] first
[F#] and make [C#] the rules as [D#m] I [B] go
Cause [F#] [C#] [D#m] I know [B] that she'd be faithful [F#] waiting for [C#] me to [D#m] come [B] home
[F#] [C#] If I were [D#m] a boy, [B]
[F#] I'd think [C#] I'd [F#] [B] understand
[F#] [C#] I [D#m] would feel to [B] love a girl, [F#] I swear I'd [C#] be a better [D#m] man
[B]
[F#] I'd [C#] listen [F#] to [B] her
[F#] Cause [C#] I know that [D#m] [B]
[F#] [C#] she'd be faithful waiting for me to come home
When [F#] you lose the [B] one you wanted [F#] cause he's taking [C#] you for granted
And [F#] everything you had got destroyed
[G#m] [B] It's a little [F#] too late for [C#] you to [G#m] come back
[B] It's just a [D#m] mistake to think [C#] I'd forgive you [G#m] like that
[B] If you thought I [D#m] would wait for [C#] you, you [B] thought wrong
[C#] But you're just [D#m] a boy, [B] [F#] [C#] you don't [D#m] [F#] understand
You don't understand
I [C#] [D#m] would feel to [B] love a girl, [F#] someday you wish you [C#] were a better [D#m] man
[B] [F#] [C#] But you don't listen [D#m] to her
[B] [F#] You [C#] don't care [F#] how it
[B] hurts
[F#] Cause [C#] [D#m]
[B] you want it [F#] cause you're taking [C#] her for granted
[B] And everything you had got destroyed
But you're just [F#] a boy
[B] [F#]
