[Start]

[Intro]

[Verse]
Cm             D#m F# C#                 
■  If I were a boy ■  even just for a day
B                D#m7       B      
■ I'd roll outta bed in the mornin'
    F#              C#          D#m B F#
And throw on what I wanted then go  ■ ■ 
C#                  D#m  B
Drink beer with the guys ■
F# C#                 D#m7  B F# C#
■  ■  And chase after girls ■ ■  ■ 
    D#m          D#m7  B     
I'd kick it with who I wanted
    F#            C#             D#m
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       
■  I think I could understand
B   F# C#    D#m             B   
How ■  ■  it feels to love a girl
  F#             C#     D#m B F#
I swear I'd be a better man ■ ■ 
    C#        D#m
I'd listen to her
B      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                               
And everything you had got destroyed


[Verse]
            D#m B
If I were a boy ■
F#         C#maj7      D#m7  B F#
■  I would turn off my phone ■ ■ 
C# D#m  D#m7          B     
■  Tell everyone it's broken
          F#               C#       D#m7  B
So they'd think that I was sleepin' alone ■
F# C#                D#m   B
■  ■  I'd put myself first ■
F# C#                      D#m
■  And make the rules as I go 
D#m7 B F# C#
■    ■ ■  ■ 


[Chorus]
D#m                         B       
'cause I know that she'd be faithful
F#      C#             D#m  B       F#  
Waitin' for me to come home to come home
   C#       D#m B
If I were a boy ■
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# C#
■  'cause I know how it hurts ■ ■  ■ 
         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      C# 
If you thought I would wait for you
            B      
You thought ■ wrong
B                    
But you're just a boy
          B         
You don't understand


[Chorus]
D#m  B F# C#        D#m        D#m7 B F#
Yeah ■ ■  you don't understand ■    ■ oh
C#     D#m                  B      
How it feels to love a girl someday
       F#              C#     D#m
You'll wish you were a better man
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                    
Until you lose the one you wanted
B      F#                   C#     
'cause you've taken her for granted
    B                                
And everything you have got destroyed


[Outro]
                D#m7  B F# C#
But you're just a boy ■ ■  ■
