And ^Ceverything 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)

You ^Cthought 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

And ^Ceverything you had got destroyed But you're just a boy^Em… ^C9 ^G ^Dsus
