[Verse]
               Am  F  C
If I were a boy
     G             Am  F  C
Even just for a day
G               Am         F
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
    C               G           Am  F  C
And throw on what I wanted and go


[Verse]
      G               Am  F  C
Drink beer with the guys
    G                Am  F  C  G
And chase after girls
         Am            F
I'd kick it with who I wanted
        C             G
And I'd never get confronted for it
Am              F             C
  'Cause they'd stick up for me


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


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


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


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


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


[Outro]
                     Am  F  C  G
But you're just a boy
