Verse 1:  
             Em C G 
If I were a boy 
     D          Em  C G  
Even just for a day 
D               Em         C 
I'd roll out of bed in the morning 
    G               D       Em C G 
And throw on what I wanted and go 
      D              Em C G 
Drink beer with the guys 
    D              Em C G D 
And chase after girls 
         Em            C 
I'd kick it with who I wanted 
        G             D 
And I'd never get confronted for it 
Em              C            G 
  'Cause they'd stick up for me 
 
Chorus: 
   D        Em C G 
If I were a boy 
          D           Em C G D 
I think I could understand 
       Em              C 
How it feels to love a girl 
  G              D      Em C G 
I swear I'd be a better man 
    D           Em C G 
I?d listen to her 
        D             Em C G D 
Cause I know how it hurts 
         Em               C 
When you lose the one you wanted 
           G             D 
Cause he's taken you for granted 
    C 
And everything you had got destroyed

            Em C G 
If I were a boy 
        D           Em C G D 
I would turn off my phone 
     Em            C 
Tell everyone it's broken 
        G                D        Em C G 
So they think that I was sleeping alone 
    D            Em C G  
I'd put myself first 
             D         Em C G D 
And make the rules as I go 
        Em              C

Waiting for me to come home

How it feels to love a girl

Say it's just a mistake

You thought wrong
