Verse
            D#m F#      C#             B 
If I were a boy   even just for a day  

               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#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 
If I were a boy 


Chorus
B 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# 
I'd listen to her 

D#m    B F# C#                     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 
And everything you had got destroyed 


Verse
B             D#m B F# 
 If I were a boy   

        C#M7        D#m7  B F# C# 
I would turn off my phone     

     D#m      D#m7      B 
Tell everyone     it's broken 

          F#               C# 
So they'd think that I was sleepin' alone 

D#m7 B F# C# 
        

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

    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 F# 
If I were a boy   

          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 F# 
I swear I'd be a   better man      

    C#        D#m B F# 
I'd listen to her   

         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# 
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 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 B 
You thought   wrong 

    B             B     B 
But  you're just a boy  

    B       B B B            B 
You  don't    understand  


Chorus
B      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 B F# 
You'll wish you were a better man      

                 C# D#m B F# 
You don't listen to her   

               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
B                 D#m7  B F# C# 
 But you're just a boy
