If I Were a Boy

[Intro] D#m  B  F#  C#

[First Part]

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

[Chorus]

     C#   D#m     B    F#         C#       D#m   B   F# C#
If I were a boy         I think I could understand
   D#m             B
How it feels to love a girl
  F#         C#      D#m     B  F#
I swear I’d be a better ma...n
   C#        D#m     B   F#      C#     D#m      B   F#
I’d listen to her        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
Continues after the ad
  B
And everything you had got destroyed

[Second Part]

         D#m   B   F#    C#       D#m   B F#
If I were a boy I could turn off my phone
C#         D#m        B
Tell everyone it’s broken
  F#          C#        D#m    B  F#
So they’d think that I was sleepin’ alone
     C#        D#m     B  F#
I’d put myself first and make the rules as I go
  C#       D#m   B  F#   C#
Cause I know that she’d be faithful
      D#m         B
Waitin’ for me to come home (come home)

[Chorus]

     C#   D#m     B    F#         C#       D#m   B   F# C#
If I were a boy         I think I could understand
   D#m             B
How it feels to love a girl
  F#         C#      D#m     B  F#
I swear I’d be a better ma...n
   C#        D#m     B   F#      C#     D#m      B   F#
I’d listen to her        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

[Bridge]

G#m          B        F#      C#      G#m
  It’s a little too late for you to come back
     B       D#m
Say its 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 wron.....g

[Chorus]

                  D#m  B  F#
But you're just a boy
 C#              D#m   B   F# C#
You don't understand (And, you don't understand, oh)
        D#m             B
How it feels to love a girl someday
    F#         C#      D#m     B  F#
You wish you were a better ma...n
   C#                D#m  B  F#
You don't listen to her
                 C#          D#m  B  F#
Cause You don't care how it hurts
C#            D#m          B
   Until you lose the one you wanted
      F#        C#
Cause you're taking her for granted
  B
And everything you had got destroyed

But you're just a boy
