If I were a boy, [A] [E]
[B] even [E] just for a day, [A] [E]
[B] I'd roll [C#m] out of bed [A] in the morning [E] and throw [B] what I wanted [E] and go.
[B] I'd drink beer with [C#m] the [A] guys [E]
and [C#m] chase after [A] girls.
[E]
[C#m] I'd kick it with [A] who I wanted [E] and I'd never get confronted [C#m] for it, cause they'd stick up [E] for me.
[B] If I were [C#m] a boy, [E]
I [B] think I would [C#m] understand how [A] [E]
[B] [C#m] it feels to [A] love a [E] bitch.
[B] I swear I'd be a better [C#m] man.
[A] [E]
[B] If I were [C#m] a boy, [A] [E]
[B] I would turn [C#m] off my [A] phone, [E]
[B] [C#m] tell [A] everyone it's broken [E] so 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 go.
[A] [E]
Cause [C#m] I know that [A] she'd be faithful, [E]
waiting [B] for me to [C#m] come home.

I [B] think I would [C#m] understand [E] how [B] [C#m] it feels to love a girl.

[E]
[B] And I'd listen [C#m] to her [B] [E] when [B] [C#m] [B] [E]
[B] [C#m] you lose the [A] one you wanted, [E] cause she's taking [B] you for granted [A] and everything you had got [E]
destroyed.
[F#m] [E] It's a little [C#m] too late [B] for you to [F#m] come back.
[A] Say it's just a [C#m]
mistake, think [B] I'd forgive you [F#m] like that.
[E] If you thought I would wait for [B] you, you [A] thought wrong.
But you're just [C#m] a boy, [A] [E]
[B] you don't [C#m] understand [A] how [E]

[E] Someday you wish you were a better man.
