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


[Chorus]

D baritone chordD Em baritone chordEm C baritone chordC G baritone chordG
If I were a boy

I think I could understand

How it feels to love a girl
G baritone chordG D baritone chordD Em baritone chordEm C baritone chordC G baritone chordG
I swear I'd be a better man
D baritone chordD Em baritone chordEm C baritone chordC G baritone chordG
I?d listen to her
D baritone chordD Em baritone chordEm C baritone chordC G baritone chordG D baritone chordD
Cause I know how it hurts
Em baritone chordEm C baritone chordC
When you lose the one you wanted
G baritone chordG D baritone chordD
Cause he's taken you for granted
C baritone chordC
And everything you had got destroyed


[Verse 2]

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


[Chorus]

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.
