[Verse]
Dm A# F
If I were a boy
C Dm A# F
Even just for a day
C Dm A#
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
F C Dm A# F
And throw on what I wanted and go
[Verse]
C Dm A# F
Drink beer with the guys
C Dm A# F C
And chase after girls
Dm A#
I'd kick it with who I wanted
F C
And I'd never get confronted for it
Dm A# F
'Cause they'd stick up for me
[Chorus]
C Dm A# F
If I were a boy
C Dm A# F C
I think I could understand
Dm A#
How it feels to love a girl
F C Dm A# F
I swear I'd be a better man
C Dm A# F
I'd listen to her
C Dm A# F C
Cause I know how it hurts
Dm A#
When you lose the one you wanted
F C
Cause he's taken you for granted
A#
And everything you had got destroyed
[Verse]
Dm A# F
If I were a boy
C Dm A# F C
I would turn off my phone
Dm A#
Tell everyone it's broken
F C Dm A# F
So they think that I was sleeping alone
C Dm A# F
I'd put myself first
C Dm A# F C
And make the rules as I go
Dm A#
Cause I know that she'd be faithful
F C Dm A# F
Waiting for me to come home
[Chorus]
C Dm A# F
If I were a boy
C Dm A# F C
I think I could understand
Dm A#
How it feels to love a girl
F C Dm A# F
I swear I'd be a better man
C Dm A# F
I'd listen to her
C Dm A# F C
Cause I know how it hurts
Dm A#
When you lose the one you wanted
F C
Cause he's taken you for granted
A#
And everything you had got destroyed
[Bridge]
A# F C Dm
It's a little too late for you to come back
A# F
Say it's just a mistake
C Dm
Think I forgive you like that
A# F C
If you thought I would wait for you
Dm~
You thought wrong
[Chorus 2]
Dm A# F
But you're just a boy
C Dm A# F C
You don't understand (yea you don't understand)
Dm A#
How it feels to love a girl, someday you'll
F C Dm A# F
Wish you were a.. better man
C Dm A# F
You don't listen to her
C Dm A# F C
You don't care how it hurts
Dm A#
Until you lose the one you wanted
F C
Cause you've taken her for granted
A# \
And everything you had got destroyed
[Outro]

But you're just a boy
