CAPO: 4th Fret
If I were a b[Am]oy[F][C]
Even [G]just for a [Am]day[F][C]
I'd roll out of [Am]bed in the [F]morning
And [C]throw on what I [G]wanted and [Am]go[F][C]
I'd [G]drink beer with the [Am]guys[F][C]
And [G]chase after [Am]girls[F][C]
I'd [Am]kick it with who I [F]wanted
And I'd [C]never get con[G]fronted for it[Am]
'Cause they'd [F]stick up for me[C]
CHORUS:
[G]If I were a [Am]boy [F][C]
I think I [G]could under[Am]stand [F][C][G]
How it [Am]feels to love a [F]girl
I [C]swear I'd be a,[G] a better [Am]man[F][C]
[G]If I were a b[Am]oy [F][C]
I would [G]turn off [Am]my phone[F][C][G]
Tell [Am]everyone it's [F]broken
So they'd [C]think that I was [G]sleeping alone[Am][F][C]
I'd [G]put myself f[Am]irst [F][C]
And make the [G]rules as [Am]I go, oh [F]oh[C]
O[G]h, 'cause I [Am]know that she'd be [F]faithful
[C]Waiting for [G]me to come ho[Am]me
O[F]h, to come ho[C]me
CHORUS:
And if [G]I were a [Am]boy[F][C]
I think I [G]would und[Am]ersta[F]nd [C][G]
How it [Am]feels to love a [F]girl
I [C]swear I'd be a[G], oh, a better [Am]man[F][C]
And I'd [G]listen to [Am]her[F][C]
'Cause I [G]know how[Am] it hur[F]ts[C][G]
When you [Am]lose the one you [F]wanted
'Cause he's [C]taking you for [G]granted
And [F]everything you had got des[C]troyed[Dm]
BRIDGE:
It's a [F]little too [Am]late for y[G]ou to come [Dm]back
Say it's [F]just a mis[Am]take, think I'd for[G]give you like that[Dm]
If you [F]thought I would w[Am]ait for [G]you, you thought wr[F]ong
CHORUS:
N.C. Am F C
But you're just a boy
You [G]don't und[Am]erstand[F][C][G]
How it [Am]feels to love a [F]girl someday
You [C]wish you were a,[G] oh, a better [Am]man[F][C]
Oh, you don't [G]listen to h[Am]er [F][C]
And you don't [G]care how [Am]it hur[F]ts[C][G]
Until you [Am]lose the one you [F]wanted
'Cause you're [C]taking her for [G]granted
And [Dm7]everything you had got destr[F]oyed
