Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]If I[Dm] was [Am]your [G]bo[Dm]yfriend,[Am]
I'd get my[G]self a cool [Dm]car
And drive it to [Am]the village where you
live if it ain't [Dm]too far
And we'd have us a hey[Am]day
in your [G]rustic [Dm]nest
That's [Am]if I could steal you away
from your other guests
[Dm]Course there[Am]'d be no wi- fi
'cause the signal is [Dm]weak
And the windows [Am]are drafty
and your four- [G]poster [Dm]creaks

[Verse 2]
[Dm]Or maybe I could lure you
[Em]out of your country home
[F]Back to the city where we could
[Dm]be together al[F]one
[Am]If I was your boyfriend
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 3]
[Dm]
If I was your boy[Am]friend,
spark[G]s w[Dm]ould fly
You'd try to be [Am]clever all the time,
and baby [G]so would [Dm]I
You'd be outwit[Am]ting my wit,
keeping me perplexed
[Dm]Poking at my persona[Am]lity
in a game of intellectual [Dm]sex
But [Am]I'd kinda like it,
and you'd like it [Dm]too
And we'd get to the [Am]real thing,
maybe, after a month [Dm]or two

[Verse 4]
And [Dm]once we were intimate,
[Em]baby, I suspect we'd find
[F]I'd be tender in your arms and
[Dm]you'd be [C]honey [F]in mine
If I was your boy[Am]friend
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 5]
[Dm]
If I was your boy[Am]friend, sugar,
we'd have [Dm]fun
Whether either of [Am]us turned out
to be the other's [Dm]one
We'd [Am]go to the West End,
find some music and [Dm]dance
Dance would lead [Am]to talk and talk
would lead to ro[Dm]mance
We'd sash[Am]ay down Soho
through the glittering [Dm]mob
Cardigan [Am]over your shoulders,
hair in a funky [Dm]bob

[Verse 6]
We'd [Dm]cut through Leicester
Square [Em]to see the lights explode
[F]Then go buy some books
[Dm]on Charing [C]Cross [F]Road
If I was your boy[Am]friend
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 7]
[Dm]
If I was your boy[Am]friend I'd
screw up [Dm]now and then
'Cause no one get[Am]s it right all the [Dm]time,
especially men
But my heart would be [Am]loyal
and my hands [Dm]would be kind
And I'd love [Am]every turn of your [Em]far
out elegant [Am]mind[Dm]
Friday [Am]night would find us,
in a hotel by [Dm]the coast
[Am]We'd close the [G]door be[Am]hind us
and I'd [Em]draw you [Dm]close

[Verse 8]
We'd put on some [Em]Marvin
to fill the room with grace
[F]And make love by candlelight so
we could [Dm]see each [C]others' [F]face
If I was your boy[Am]friend[Dm]
If I was your boy[Am]friend[Dm]
If I was your boy[Am]friend[Dm]
[Am]If I was your boyfriend
