Beyoncé: If I were a boy

Em7 Cadd9 G Dsus4

1. If I were a boy Em7 
 
Cadd9 
 
G 
 

Even Dsus4 
just for a day 
Em7 
 
Cadd9 
 
G 
 

Dsus4 
I'd roll out of 
Em7 
bed in the 
Cadd9 
morning

And G 
throw on what I 
Dsus4 
wanted and go 
Em7 
 
Cadd9 
 
G 
 

Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted
And I'd never get confronted for it
Em7 
'Cause they'd 
Cadd9 
stick up for me
G 
 


Ch: If Dsus4 
I were a boy 
Em7 
 
Cadd9 
 
G 
 

I think I Dsus4 
could understand 
Em7 
 
Cadd9 
 
G 
 

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
Cause he's taken you for granted
And C 
everything you had got destroyed
2. If I were a boy Em7 
 
Cadd9 
 
G 
 

I would Dsus4 
turn off my phone 
Em7 
 
Cadd9 
 
G 
 

Tell everyone it's 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
G 
Waiting for 
D 
me to come 
Em 
home 
C 
 
G 
 


Ch: If Dsus4 
I were a boy 
Em7 
 
Cadd9 
 
G 
 

I think I Dsus4 
could understand 
Em7 
 
Cadd9 
 
G 
 

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
Cause he's taken you for granted
And C 
everything you had got destroyed


Bridge: Am7 
It's a 
C 
little too late
G 
 for you
D 
 to come 
Am7 
back

Say it's C 
just a mistake

G 
Think I for
D 
give you like 
Am7 
that

If you C 
thought I would 
G 
wait for you
D 
 

You thought C 
wrong


3. But you're just a boy Em 
 
C 
 
G 
 

You D 
don't understand
Em 
 (yea you 
C 
don't under
G 
stand) 
D 
 

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
And C 
everything you had got destroyed

But you're just a boy Em 
 
C 
 
G 
 
D
