Verse 1:
 Ab                          Eb
It's second nature to walk home before the sun goes down
 Bb                              Cm
And put your keys between your knuckles when there's  boys around
Ab                     Eb
Isn't it funny how we laugh it off to hide our fear
 Bb                                Cm
When there's nothing funny here? (Ah)
 Ab                         Eb
Sick intuition that they taught us, so we won't freak out
Bb                            Cm
We hide our figures, doing anything to shut their mouths
Ab                           Eb
We smile away to ease the tension so it don't go south
Bb                                Cm
  But there's nothing funny now (Ah)
 
Pre-chorus:
 Ab            Eb
When will we stop saying things?
                Bb
'Cause they're all listening
         Cm
No, the kids ain't alright
Ab            Eb
Oh, and they do what they see

Oh, the kids ain't alright

Boys will be, boys will be

But girls will be women
 Ab
Boys will be, boys will be
 Eb                          Bb

Verse 2:
 Ab                                 Eb
I'm sure if there's something that I can't find the words to say
Bb                                          Cm
I know that there will be a man around to save the day
 Ab                        Eb
And that was sarcasm, in case you needed it mansplained
Bb                            Cm
I should've stuck to ballet (Ah)

No, the kids ain't alright
Ab            Eb
Oh, and they do what they see
             Bb
'Cause it's all on TV
                     Cm
Oh, the kids ain't alright
 
Chorus:
 Ab
Boys will be, boys will be
 Eb                          Bb
Boys will be, boys will be boys

Boys will be, boys will be
 Eb                          Bb
Boys will be, boys will be boys
     Cm
But girls will be women
 
Bridge:
Ab              Eb              Bb
  If you're offended by this song
         Cm                     Ab
You're clearly doing something wrong
              Eb             Bb
If you're offended by this song
