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