I Wish I Were A Boy

I wish I were a boy

 not all the time, just sometimes
F
I wish I could put on eyeliner and glitter and actually look good
        C
and have girls whisper about me in bookshops because I look like a character from their favorite
 book
                   F
and I wish I were a boy
                                                C
 with dark fluffy hair that I love to mess up, and shake, and makes everyone stop and stare

Continues after the ad
and I wish I were a boy
              F                    C
 so I would finally look cute in dresses and skirts and pants and suits
     F
and I wish I were a boy

 with a deep rock and roll voice

 that makes people stop in their tracks
N.C.
but I don't have that choice
             C                                     F
and I wish that I did because every song I write for myself never sounds right

 because it was meant to  be sung by somebody else
C                      F
I'm happy being me but sometimes I wonder
       C
 what I would be like as the opposite gender
