If I Were A Boy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
If I were a [Am]boy[F]
[C]Even jus[G]t for a day[Am][F][C]
[G]I'd roll out of [Am]bed in the m[F]orning
And [C]throw on what I [G]wanted and go
[Am][F][C]
Drink [G]beer with the [Am]guys[F][C]
And [G]chase after [Am]girls[F][C]
[G]I'd kick it [Am]with who I wante[F]d
And I'd [C]never get con[G]fronted for [Am]it
'Cause they'd [F]stick up for [C]me
If [G]I were a boy

[Chorus 1]
[Am][F]
[C]I think I cou[G]ld understa[Am]nd[F][C][G]
How it [Am]feels to love a [F]girl
I [C]swear I'd be a [G]better [Am]man[F][C]
I'd [G]listen to [Am]her[F][C]
'Cause I [G]know how it [Am]hurts[F][C][G]
When you [Am]lose the one you [F]wanted
'Cause he's [C]taken you for [G]granted
And [F]everything you had got destroyed

[Verse 2]
If I were a [Am]boy[F]
[C]I would tur[G]n off my pho[Am]ne[F]
[C]Tel[G]l everyo[Am]ne it's broken[F]
So they'd [C]think
that I was [G]sleeping a[Am]lone[F][C]
I'd [G]put myself [Am]first[F][C]
And make the [G]rules as I [Am]go[F][C]
[G]'Cause I kno[Am]w that she'd be fai[F]thful
[C]Waiting for [G]me to come [Am]home,[F]
to come [C]home
If [G]I were a boy

[Chorus 2]
[Am][F]
[C]I think I cou[G]ld understa[Am]nd[F][C][G]
How it [Am]feels to love a [F]girl
I [C]swear I'd be a [G]better [Am]man[F][C]
I'd [G]listen to [Am]her[F][C]
'Cause I [G]know how it [Am]hurts[F][C][G]
When you [Am]lose the one you [F]wanted
'Cause he's [C]taken you for [G]granted
And [F]everything you had
got [C]destroyed

[Bridge 1]
[Dm]It's a littl[F]e too late[Am]
for [G]you to come [Dm]back
Say it's [F]just a mis[Am]take
Think I'd for[G]give you like [Dm]that
If you [F]thought I would [Am]wait for you
[G]You thought wro[F]ng

[Chorus 3]
But you're just a [Am]boy[F]
[C]You don[G]'t understa[Am]nd
(yeah, you [F]don't under[C]stand, [G]oh)
How it [Am]feels to love a [F]girl someday
You [C]wish you were a [G]better [Am]man[F]
[C]You don't lis[G]ten to her[Am][F][C]
You don't [G]care how it [Am]hurts[F][C][G]
Until you [Am]lose the one you [F]wanted
'Cause you've [C]taken her for [G]granted
And [F]everything you have
got destroyed

[Outro 1]
But you're just a [Am]boy[F][C][G]
