Capo 2nd Fret
Verse 1:
EmCG
If I were a boy
DEmCG
Even just for a day
DEmC
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
GDEmCG
And throw on what I wanted and go
DEmCG
Drink beer with the guys
DEmCGD
And chase after girls
EmC
I'd kick it with who I wanted
GD
And I'd never get confronted for it
EmCG
'Cause they'd stick up for me
Chorus:
DEmCG
If I were a boy
DEmCGD
I think I could understand
EmC
How it feels to love a girl
GDEmCG
I swear I'd be a better man
DEmCG
I?d listen to her
DEmCGD
Cause I know how it hurts
EmC
When you lose the one you wanted
GD
Cause he's taken you for granted
C
And everything you had got destroyed
Verse 2:
EmCG
If I were a boy
DEmCGD
I would turn off my phone
EmC
Tell everyone it's broken
GDEmCG
So they think that I was sleeping alone
DEmCG
I'd put myself first
DEmCGD
And make the rules as I go
EmC
Cause I know that she'd be faithful
GDEmCG
Waiting for me to come home
Chorus:
DEmCG
If I were a boy
DEmCGD
I think I could understand
EmC
How it feels to love a girl
GDEmCG
I swear I'd be a better man
DEmCG
I'd listen to her
DEmCGD
Cause I know how it hurts
EmC
When you lose the one you wanted
GD
Cause he's taken you for granted
CAm7
And everything you had got destroyed
Bridge:
Am7CGDAm
It's a little too late for you to come back
CEm
Say it's just a mistake
DAm
Think I forgive you like that
CEmD
If you thought I would wait for you
C
You thought wrong
Verse 3:
EmCG
But you're just a boy
DEmCGD
You don't understand (yea you don't understand)
EmC
How it feels to love a girl, someday you'll
GDEmCG
Wish you were a.. better man
DEmCG
You don't listen to her
DEmCG
You don't care how it hurts
DEmC
Until you lose the one you wanted
GD
Cause you've taken her for granted
C
And everything you had got destroyed
EmCGD
But you're just a boy
