If I Were A Boy

Beyonce

               Em   C9    G 
If I were a boy 
 
     Dsus          Em    C9    G   Dsus 
Even just for a day 
 
         Em         C9 
I'd roll out of bed in the morning 
 
    G                Dsus        Em   C9    G 
And throw on what I wanted and go 
 
Dsus                    Em   C9    G 
Drink beer with the guys 
 
    Dsus             Em   C9    G   Dsus 
And chase after girls 
 
         Em            C9 
I'd kick it with who I wanted 
 
    G             Dsus 
And I'd never get confronted for it 
 
Em             C9           G 
Because they'd stick up for me 
 
Chorus: 
 
Dsus           Em   C9    G 
If I were a boy 
 
        Dsus             Em   C9    G   Dsus 
I think I could understand 
 
       Em            C9 
How it feels to love a girl 
 
  G              Dsus       Em   C9    G 
I swear I'd be a better man 
 
Dsus             Em   C9    G 
I'd listen to her 
 
        Dsus           Em   C9    G   Dsus 
Cause I know how it hurts 
 
         Em           C9 
When you lose the one you wanted 
 
           G             Dsus 
Cause he's taken you for granted 
 
    C 
And everything you had got destroyed 
 
Verse 2: 
 
If I were a boy 
I would turn off my phone 
Tell everyone its broken 
So they think 
that I was sleeping alone 
I'd put myself first 
And make the rules as I go 
Cause I know that she'd be faithful 
Waiting for me to come home 
 
If I were a boy 
I think I could understand 
How it feels to love a girl 
I swear I'd be a better man 
I'd listen to her 
Cause I know how it hurts 
When you lose the one you wanted (wanted) 
Cause he's taken you for granted (granted) 
 
    C9                           Em7  Am 
And everything you had got destroyed 
 
Bridge: 
 
       C          G        Dsus        Am 
It's a little too late for you to come back 
 
        C         Em 
Say its just a mistake 
 
           Dsus          Am 
Think I forgive you like that 
 
       C         Em                Dsus 
If you thought I would wait for you 
 
    C 
You thought wrong 
 
 
But you're just a boy 
You don't understand (yea you don't understand) 
How it feels to love a girl 
Someday you'll wish you were a better man 
You don't listen to her 
You don't care how it hurts 
Until you lose the one you wanted 
Cause you've taken her for granted 
 
    C 
And everything you had got destroyed 
 
                     Em C9 G Dsus 
But you're just a boy
