Verse:
               Em   C9    G
If I were a boy
     D             Em    C9    G   D   
Even just for a day
         Em         C9
I’d roll out of bed in the morning
    G                D           Em   C9    G
And throw on what I wanted and go
D                       Em   C9    G
Drink beer with the guys
    D                Em   C9    G   D   
And chase after girls
         Em            C9
I’d kick it with who I wanted
    G             D   
And I’d never get confronted for it
Em             C9           G
Because they’d stick up for me

Chorus:
D              Em   C9    G
If I were a boy
        D                Em   C9    G   D   
I think I could understand
       Em            C9
How it feels to love a girl
  G              D          Em   C9    G
I swear I’d be a better man
D                Em   C9    G
I’d listen to her
        D              Em   C9    G   D   
Cause I know how it hurts
         Em           C9
When you lose the one you wanted
           G             D   
Cause he’s taken you for granted
    C
And everything you had got destroyed

Verse -same as first Verse-:
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone its broken
So they think
that I was sleeping alone
I’d put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’d be faithful
Waiting for me to come home

Chorus:
D              Em   C9    G
If I were a boy
        D                Em   C9    G   D   
I think I could understand
       Em            C9
How it feels to love a girl
  G              D          Em   C9    G
I swear I’d be a better man
D                Em   C9    G
I’d listen to her
        D              Em   C9    G   D   
Cause I know how it hurts
         Em           C9
When you lose the one you wanted
           G             D   
Cause he’s taken you for granted
    C9                           Em7  Am
And everything you had got destroyed

Bridge:
       C          G        D           Am
It’s a little too late for you to come back
        C         Em
Say its just a mistake
           D             Am
Think I forgive you like that
       C         Em                D   
If you thought I would wait for you
    C
You thought wrong

Chorus -same as previous Chorus-:
But you're just a boy
You don’t understand -yea you don’t understand-
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you’ll wish you were a better man
You don’t listen to her
You don’t care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you've taken her for granted
    C
And everything you had got destroyed

Outro:
                     Em C9 G D   
But you're just a boy
