[Verse]
               C#m  A  E
If I were a boy
     B             C#m  A  E
Even just for a day
B               C#m         A
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
    E               B           C#m  A  E
And throw on what I wanted and go


[Verse]
      B               C#m  A  E
Drink beer with the guys
    B                C#m  A  E  B
And chase after girls
         C#m            A
I'd kick it with who I wanted
        E             B
And I'd never get confronted for it
C#m              A             E
  'Cause they'd stick up for me


[Chorus]
   B          C#m  A  E
If I were a boy
          B             C#m  A  E  B
I think I could understand
       C#m              A
How it feels to love a girl
  E              B          C#m  A  E
I swear I'd be a better man
    B           C#m  A  E
I'd listen to her
        B              C#m  A  E  B
Cause I know how it hurts
         C#m               A
When you lose the one you wanted
           E             B
Cause he's taken you for granted
    A
And everything you had got destroyed


[Verse]
               C#m  A  E
If I were a boy
        B              C#m  A  E  B
I would turn off my phone
     C#m            A
Tell everyone it's broken
        E                B           C#m  A  E
So they think that I was sleeping alone
    B             C#m  A  E
I'd put myself first
             B          C#m  A  E  B
And make the rules as I go
        C#m              A
Cause I know that she'd be faithful
E            B          C#m  A  E
Waiting for me to come home


[Chorus]
   B          C#m  A  E
If I were a boy
          B            C#m  A  E  B
I think I could understand
       C#m              A
How it feels to love a girl
  E              B          C#m  A  E
I swear I'd be a better man
    B           C#m  A  E
I'd listen to her
        B              C#m  A  E  B
Cause I know how it hurts
         C#m               A
When you lose the one you wanted
           E             B
Cause he's taken you for granted
    A
And everything you had got destroyed


[Bridge]
           A         E        B           C#m
    It's a little too late for you to come back
         A        E
Say it's just a mistake
           B             C#m
Think I forgive you like that
          A             E         B
If you thought I would wait for you
              C#m~
You thought wrong


[Chorus 2]
                  C#m  A  E
But you're just a boy
    B           C#m            A          E     B
You don't understand (yea you don't understand)
       C#m              A
How it feels to love a girl, someday you'll
E              B            C#m  A  E
Wish you were a.. better man
             B      C#m  A  E
You don't listen to her
          B           C#m   A  E  B
You don't care how it hurts
          C#m               A
Until you lose the one you wanted
             E             B
Cause you've taken her for granted
    A                     \
And everything you had got destroyed


[Outro]
                     C#m  A  E  B
But you're just a boy
