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