If I Were A Boy You Oughta Know Chords by Beyoncé

[Verse]
B             D#m B
■ If I were a boy ■
F# C#              D#m B
■  Even just for a day ■
F# C#              D#m B             
■  I'd roll out of bed in the morning
                  C#             
And throw on what I wanted and go
Bmaj7 F# C#            D#m  B
Drink ■  beer with the guys ■
F# C#              D#m  
■  And chase after girls
B   C# D#m              D#m7    
I'd ■  kick it with who I wanted
    B         C#                 D#m7
And I'd never get confronted for it  
D#m           B              
'cause they'd stick up for me
F#             
If I were a boy
          C#    D#m       
I think I could understand


[Chorus]
B F# C# D#m B F# C#
■ ■  ■  ■   ■ ■  ■ 
       D#m             B   
How it feels to love a girl
  F#    C#                 
I swear I'd be a better man
D#m B F# C#
■   ■ ■  ■ 
              F#  B
I'd listen to her ■
F# C#                   B     F#
■  'cause I know how it hurts ■ 


[Verse]
C#      D#m7                 D#m   
■  When you lose the one you wanted
            F#    C#             
'cause he's taken you for granted
B                                   
And everything you had got destroyed
          F#      
If I were ■  a boy
        C#       B        F#
I would turn off my phone ■ 
C# B                        
■  Tell everyone it's broken
F#                         C#       D#m   B
So they'd think that I was sleeping alone ■
               F#      
I'd put myself ■  first
C#           D#m7  B F# C#    D#m B  F#
And make the rules ■ ■  ■  as I   go ■ 
C#          D#m       B                
■  'cause I know that she'd be faithful
            C#    B    F#           G#m 
Waiting for me to come home to come home


[Chorus]
B    F#     C# 
If I were a boy
  B                       
I think I could understand
D#m C#          G#m7   B   
How it feels to love a girl
        D#m    C#       B   C# B
I swear I'd be a better man ■  ■


[Bridge]
              B  
I'd listen to her
B                         
'cause I know how it hurts
B                               
When you lose the one you wanted


[Verse]
B7                               
'cause he's taken you for granted
               B7                   
And everything you had got destroyed
       F#              E   B           B7  
It's a little too late for you to come back
F#                     
Say it's just a mistake


[Chorus]
A B7 F#m7 B B7
■ ■  ■    ■ ■ 
                  F#m7         
Think I'd forgive you like that
   F#7                             
If you thought I would wait for you
B                
You thought wrong
           B         
But you're just a boy
F#  E               
You don't understand
A   B                F#     E      
How it feels to love a girl someday
    A                      B  
You wish you were a better man
B7        E         F# F#m7 C#    
You don't listen to ■  ■    ■  her
    D#m   B 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


[Outro]
B                           N.C.     
And everything you have got destroyed
D7         D#m        B F# C#
But you're just a boy ■ ■  ■
