[Verse 1]
[G]If [A]I w[D]as a b[G]oy I'd know the[D]
[Em]things [G]a girl shouldn't know

So, oh so [G]girls shouldn't, [Ebdim]so

[G]If I was a boy,
I'd had come of age a long time ago

Go out and [G]raise [Am]me so[G]me C[Am]ain

[Verse 4]
If [G]I was a b[Am]oy,
there'd [G]be some [Am]use in h[G]av[Am]ing a b[G]rain

[Verse 6]
busting at the seams
[Ebm]But as long as I have
something left to hope with
I still [Adim]have my dr[D]eams

[Verse 7]
If [G]I was a boy,
I'd have no wings like girls seem to sprout
Learn [Abdim]things that gi[Am]rls se[D]em to doubt
Spread my [G]activit[C] ies ou[G]t

[Verse 8]
If [G]I was a b[D]oy, I[G]'d know what a[D]ll
[G]the [D]shouting'sabo[G]ut
It would be a [D]joy, just to be a [G]boy[Am][G]
