Em Em   C C    G G
If I were a boy
D D Em Em C C G G
Even just for a day
D D Em Em C C
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
G G D D Em Em C C G G
And throw on what I wanted and go
D D Em Em C C G G
Drink beer with the guys
D D Em Em C C G G D D
And chase after girls
Em Em C C
I'd kick it with who I wanted
G G D D
And I'd never get confronted for it
Em Em C C G G
'Cause they'd stick up for me


[Chorus]

D D Em Em C C G G
If I were a boy
D D Em Em C C G G D D
I think I could understand
Em Em C C
How it feels to love a girl
G G D D Em Em C C G G
I swear I'd be a better man
D D Em Em C C G G
I?d listen to her
D D Em Em C C G G D D
Cause I know how it hurts
Em Em C C
When you lose the one you wanted
G G D D
Cause he's taken you for granted
C C
And everything you had got destroyed


[Verse 2]

Em Em C C G G
If I were a boy
D D Em Em C C G G D D
I would turn off my phone
Em Em C C
Tell everyone it's broken
G G D D Em Em C C G G
So they think that I was sleeping alone
D D Em Em C C G G
I'd put myself first
D D Em Em C C G G D D
And make the rules as I go
Em Em C C
Cause I know that she'd be faithful
G G D D Em Em C C G G
Waiting for me to come home


[Chorus]

D D Em Em C C G G
If I were a boy
D D Em Em C C G G D D
I think I could understand
Em Em C C
How it feels to love a girl
G G D D Em Em C C G G
I swear I'd be a better man
D D Em Em C C G G
I'd listen to her
D D Em Em C C G G D D
Cause I know how it hurts
Em Em C C
When you lose the one you wanted
G G D D
Cause he's taken you for granted
C C Am7 Am7
And everything you had got destroyed


[Bridge]

Am7 Am7 C C G G D D Am Am
It's a little too late for you to come back
C C Em Em
Say it's just a mistake
D D Am Am
Think I forgive you like that
C C Em Em D D
If you thought I would wait for you
C C
You thought wrong


[Verse 3]

Em Em C C G G
But you're just a boy
D D Em Em C C G G D D
You don't understand (yea you don't understand)
Em Em C C
How it feels to love a girl, someday you'll
G G D D Em Em C C G G
Wish you were a.. better man
D D Em Em C C G G
You don't listen to her
D D Em Em C C G G
You don't care how it hurts
D D Em Em C C
Until you lose the one you wanted
G G D D
Cause you've taken her for granted
C C
And everything you had got destroyed
Em Em C C G G D D
But you're just a boy

About this song: If I Were A Boy

The If I Were a Boy Songfacts says: Toby Gad and BC Jean penned this. This is the only song on I Am… Sasha Fierce that Beyoncé didn't co-write. BC Jean, whose real name is Britney Carlson, is a singer-songwriter from San Diego, California. According to Fox News, after Beyonce's people got wind of this song, possibly through Gad, they aggressively pursued the publishing rights to what they saw as a potential hit record.
