Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
If [D]I were a[Bm] boy[G]
[D]Even jus[A]t for a d[Bm]ay[G][D]
I'd roll out of [Bm]bed in t[G]he morning
And [D]throw on what I [A]wanted
and go
[Bm][G]

[Verse 2]
[D]
Drink beer with [A]the [Bm]guys[G][D]
And [A]chase after [Bm]girls[G][D][A]
I'd kick [Bm]it with who I w[G]anted
And I'd [D]never get con
[A]fronted for [Bm]it
'Cause they'd [G]stick up [D]for me
If [A]I were a boy I

[Verse 3]
[Bm]
[G]thi[D]nk I could[A]
under[Bm]stand[G][D][A]
How it [Bm]feels to love a [G]girl
[D]I swear I'd be a [A]better [Bm]man[G][D]
I'd [A]listen to [Bm]her[G][D]
'Cause [A]I know how it
[Bm]hurts[G][D][A]
When you [Bm]lose the one you [G]wanted
'Cause he's [D]taken you for [A]granted
And [G]everything you had got destroyed
If I were [Bm]a boy

[Verse 4]
[G][D]
I would [A]turn off my [Bm]phone[G][D][A]
Tell [Bm]everyone it's [G]broken
So they'd [D]think that I was
[A]sleeping alone
[Bm][G]

[Verse 5]
[D]
I'd [A]put myself [Bm]first[G]
[D]And make the rul[A]es as I
[Bm]go[G][D][A]
'Cause I [Bm]know that she'd [G]be faithful
[D]Waiting [A]for me to come [Bm]home,
[G]to come hom[D]e
If [A]I were a boy

[Verse 6]
[Bm][G]
[D]I think I c[A]ould u[Bm]nderstand
[G](oh[D]h)[A]
How it [Bm]feels to love a [G]girl
[D]I swear I'd be [A]a better
[Bm]man[G][D]
I'd [A]listen to [Bm]her[G][D]
'Cause I [A]know how it [Bm]hurts[G][D][A]
When you [Bm]lose the one you
[G]wanted (you wanted)
'Cause [D]he's taken you for
[A]granted (granted)
[G]An d everything you had
got des[D]troyed[Em]
It's a [G]little too late

[Verse 7]
[D]for you[A] to come bac[Em]k
Say it's [G]just a mistake
[Bm]Think I'd forgive [A]you like that[Em]
If you [G]thought I would [Bm]wait for you
[A]You thought wro[G]ng
But you're just [D]a boy

[Verse 8]
[Bm][G][D]
You [A]don't [Bm]understand (yeah, you
[G]don't under[D]stand, oh)
[A]How it fee[Bm]ls to love a gir[G]l someday
You [D]wish you were [A]a
better [Bm]man[G][D]
You don't [A]listen to [Bm]her[G][D]
You don't [A]care how it [Bm]hurts[G][D]
[A]Until you los[Bm]e the one you wan[G]ted
'Cause you've [D]taken her for [A]granted
An[G]d everything you have got destroyed
But you're just a boy
[Bm][G][D]
