Beyonce Knowles - If I Were A Boy

Em C G 
If I were a boy 
     D          Em  C G  
even just for a day 
D               Em         C 
I'd roll out of bed in the morning 
    G               D        Em  C G 
and throw on what I wanted and go 
      D               Em C G 
drink beer with the guys 
    D                Em C G D 
and chase after girls 
         Em            C 
I'd kick it with who I wanted 
        G             D 
and I'd never get confronted for it 
Em              C              G 
  'cause they'd stick up for me 
 
chorus: 
   D          Em  C  G 
If I were a boy 
          D            Em  C  G  D 
I think I could understand 
       Em              C 
how it feels to love a girl 
  G              D       Em  C  G 
I swear I'd be a better man 
    D           Em C  G 
I?d listen to her 
        D              Em  C  G D 
cause I know how it hurts 
         Em               C 
When you lose the one you wanted 
           G             D 
cause he's taken you for granted 
    C 
and everything you had got destroyed  
 
Verse 2: 
              Em  C  G 
If I were a boy 
        D             Em  C  G  D 
I would turn off my phone 
     Em            C 
Tell everyone it's broken 
        G                D          Em  C  G 
So they think that I was sleeping alone 
    D             Em  C  G  
I'd put myself first 
             D          Em  C  G  D 
and make the rules as I Go 
        Em              C                  
cause I know that she'd be faithful 
G            D          Em  C  G     
Waiting for me to come home 
 
chorus: 
   D          Em  C  G 
If I were a boy 
          D            Em  C  G D 
I think I could understand 
       Em              C 
how it feels to love a girl 
  G              D       Em  C  G 
I swear I'd be a better man 
    D           Em  C  G 
I'd listen to her 
        D              Em  C G D 
cause I know how it hurts 
         Em               C 
When you lose the one you wanted 
           G             D 
cause he's taken you for granted 
    C                           Am7 
and everything you had got destroyed 
 
bridge: 
 Am7       C            G        D         Am 
    It's a little too late for you to come back
         C         Em 
Say it's just a mistake
           D             Am 
Think I forgive you like that 
          C              Em       D 
If you thought I would wait for you 
            C 
You thought wrong 
 
Verse 3: 
                  Em  C  G 
but you're just a boy 
          D       Em          C          G     D 
You don't understand (yea you don't understand) 
         Em              C 
how it feels to love a girl, someday you'll 
G              D          Em C  G 
Wish you were a.. better man 
            D        Em C G 
You don't listen to her 
          D             Em  C  G 
You don't care how it hurts 
D           Em             C 
  Until you lose the one you wanted 
                G                 D 
cause you've taken her for granted 
    C 
and everything you had got destroyed 
                     Em C G D 
but you're just a boy
