If I were a boy

Even just for a day
C# D#m B
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
F# C# D#m B F#
And throw on what I wanted and go
C# D#m B F#
Drink beer with the guys
C# D#m B F# C#
And chase after girls
D#m B
I'd kick it with who I wanted
F# C#
And I'd never get confronted for it

'Cause they'd stick up for me

How it feels to love a girl

C# D#m B F# C#
Cause I know how it hurts
D#m B
When you lose the one you wanted
F# C#
Cause he's taken you for granted

If I were a boy
C# D#m B F# C#
I would turn off my phone

Tell everyone it's broken
F# C# D#m B F#
So they think that I was sleeping alone
C# D#m B F#
I'd put myself first
C# D#m B F# C#
And make the rules as I go
D#m B
Cause I know that she'd be faithful
F# C# D#m B F#
Waiting for me to come home
