If I Were a Boy Chords by Beyoncé

[Start]

[Verse]
            D#m B F# C#              D#m B
If I were a boy ■ ■  even just for a day ■
F# C#             D#m7       B      
■  I'd roll outta bed in the mornin'
    F#              C#          D#m B
And throw on what I wanted then go  ■
F# C#                  D#m  B
■  Drink beer with the guys ■
F# C#                 D#m7  B F#
■  ■  And chase after girls ■ ■ 
C#     D#m7               B     
■  I'd kick it with who I wanted
    F#            C#             D#m7
And I'd never get confronted for it  
              B            F# C#
'cause they'd stick up for me ■ 
            D#m B
If I were a boy ■


[Chorus]
F#           C#    D#m        B F#
■  I think I could understand ■ ■ 
C#        D#m             B   
■  How it feels to love a girl
  F#    C#              D#m B
I swear I'd be a better man ■
F#     C#        D#m B
■  I'd listen to her ■
F#          C#               
■  'cause I know how it hurts
D#m B F# C#
■   ■ ■  ■ 
         D#m7             B     
When you lose the one you wanted
            F#            C#     
'cause he's taken you for granted
B                                   
And everything you had got destroyed
            D#m B
If I were a boy ■
F# C#      C#maj7      D#m7  B F#
■  I would turn off my phone ■ ■ 


[Verse]
C# D#m  D#m7          B     
■  Tell everyone it's broken
          F#               C#maj7   D#m7  B
So they'd think that I was sleepin' alone ■
F# C#                D#m   B
■  ■  I'd put myself first ■
F# C#                        
■  And make the rules as I go
D#m    B F# C#   D#m                B       
'cause ■ ■  ■  I know that she'd be faithful
F#      C#             D#m7 B         F#  
Waitin' for me to come home ■ to come home
   C#       D#m B
If I were a boy ■


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


[Bridge]
       B          F#       C#     G#m      
It's a little too late for you to come back
         B      D#m    
Say it's just a mistake
          C#               G#m 
Think I'd forgive you like that
       B               D#m         
If you thought I would wait for you


[Chorus]
C#          B     C#
You thought wrong ■ 
                  D#m B
But you're just a boy ■
F# C#        D#m       
■  You don't understand
               F#         C#
Yeah you don't understand oh
       D#m             B           
How it feels to love a girl someday
       F#              C#        
You'll wish you were a better man
D#m B F#       C#        D#m B
You ■ ■  don't listen to her ■
F#     C#                D#m   B F#
■  You don't care how it hurts ■ ■ 
C#           D#m          B         
■  Until you lose the one you wanted
              F#            C#     
'cause you've taken her for granted
    B                                
And everything you have got destroyed
    B                
But you're just a boy
