[Verse 1]
[G]Sometimes
I wish I could be trans[Em]formed and [G]be someone [A]else
Envy, yes I could [G]be [Em]the boy I've
always wanted [G]to [A]be
Envy, yes I could [F#]wear a brand
new [Bm]face
[D]Someone [G]who cannot be wro[D]ng
Yes, I [F#]could throw away my [Bm]dresses
[D]My [G]legs would be big
and [A]strong[D][A]
Oh, [G]I wish to throw all [Em]my pearls
And [G]not be a [A]girl
Envy
Oh, I [G]wish I could kill [Em]my dolls
Start [G]playing foot[A]ball
Envy
Yes, [F#]I want to beat up my [Bm]teacher
[A]I w[G]anna be a hero[D]
I wanna [F#]ride up on my chop[Bm]per,
[A]I w[G]anna be a cowboy.[A]
If I was a [D]boy,
rid[Em]ing through the night, [A]riding.
If I was a [D]boy,
fight[Em]ing a[G]ll t[Em]he fights, f[A]ighting.
I could jump [F#]over your defenses,
[Bm]I kn[A]ow w[G]e could have a ball.[D]
And [F#]I could multiply my [Bm]chances
[A]And [G]I could play rock 'n 'ro[A]ll[D]
[A]If I was a boy[D]
[Em]Racing through the night, [A]racing
If I was a [D]boy
[Em]Playing with the band, [A]playing
I would be [F#]all dressed up in l[Bm]eather I'd
[A]cru[G]ise around on my bik[D]e
And [F#]I could fight up with my [Bm]father,
[A]lik[G]e all the boys who can fig[A]ht.[D][A][D][A][Bm][G][Em][G][A][G][D]
[A][Bm][G][Em][G][A]
Sometimes I [G]wish I could be [Em]transformed
and [G]be someone [A]else, and be,
Yes, I could [G]be the boy [Em]I've
always [G]wanted to [A]be
Then, but I got [F#]to go on
wearing [Bm]dresses
[A]Cau[G]se I know I'm not a b[D]oy
And [F#]there is nothing more depress[Bm]ing
[A]I r[G]eally love the
[A]boys[D][A][D][A]
If I was a [D]boy, [Em]riding through the night, [A]riding
If I was a [D]boy, [Em]all the fights,
[A]fighting I could jump [F#]over your de[Bm]fences
[A]May[G] be we could have a ba[D]ll
And I [F#]could multiply my chances

[G]I'd criss around on [D]my back.
I wish [F#]I could beat up my fa[Bm]ther,[A]
[Bm]Like [G]all the boys who can't fig[A]ht.
If I was a [D]boy,
rid[Em]ing through the night, [A]riding.
If I was a [D]boy,
fight[Em]ing a[G]ll t[Em]he fights, f[A]ighting.
I could jump [F#]over your de[Bm]fences,
[A]maybe [G]we could have a bal[D]l
