If I were a boy ■ ■  even just for a day ■ ■ 

C#             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 F# C# 
Drink beer with the guys ■ ■  ■ 

                D#m7  B F# C# 
And chase after girls ■ ■  ■ 

         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#

How it feels to love a girl

■   ■ ■  ■

When you lose the one you wanted 

            F#            C# 
'cause he's taken you for granted 

    B                                B 
And everything you had got destroyed ■

I would turn off my phone ■ ■  ■

■    ■ ■  ■ 

               D#m   B F# 
I'd put myself first ■ ■ 

    C# 
And make the rules as I go 

D#m    B F# C#                      B 
'cause ■ ■  ■  I know that she'd be faithful 

F#      C#             D#m7 B         F# 
Waitin' for me to come home ■ to come home

Say it's just a mistake ■ 

          C#               G#m 
Think I'd forgive you like that 

       B               D#m          C#

You don't care how it hurts ■ ■  ■

Until you lose the one you wanted

'cause you've taken her for granted 

    B 
And everything you have got destroyed
