If I Were A Boy

If I were a boy,

(G)even (D)just for a day,

(D)I'd roll outta (Em7)bed in the (C)morning and (G)throw on what I (D)wanted,

then go

(G)drink (D)beer with the guys

(G)and (D)chase after girls.

(G)I'd kick (Em7)it with who I (C)wanted and I'd (G)never get (D)confronted for it,

'cause they'd (C)stick up for me.

If (D)I were a boy,

(G)I think I (D)could understand

(D)how it (Em7)feels to love a (C)girl I (G)swear I'd be a (D)better man.

(G)I'd (D)listen to her

(G)'cause I (D)know how it hurts

(D)when you (Em7)lose the one you (C)wanted 'cause he's (G)taken you for (D)granted and (C)ev'rything you had got destroyed.

If I were a boy,

(G)I would (D)turn off my phone,

(D)tell (Em7)ev'ryone it's (C)broken so they'd (G)think that I was (D)sleepin' alone.

(G)I'd (D)put myself first

(G)and make the (D)rules as I go

(G)'cause I (Em7)know that she'd be (C)faithful,

(G)waitin' for (D)me to come (Em7)home,

(C)to come home.

If (D)I were a boy, (C)ev'rything you had got destroyed.

(Am)It's a (C)little too late for you to come (Am)back,

say it's (C)just a mistake, think I'd (D)forgive you like that.

If you (C)thought I would wait for (D)you,

you thought (C)wrong.

But you're just a boy.

(G)You (D)don't understand

(D)how it (Em7)feels to love a (C)girl.

Someday you'll (G)wish you were (D)a better man.

(G)You don't (D)listen to (C)her.

(G)You don't (D)care how it (Em7)hurts

(D)until you (Em7)lose the one you (C)wanted 'cause you've (G)taken her for (D)granted and (C)ev'rything you have got destroyed.

But you're just a boy.
