Bridge:
Am C Em G
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I’d roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then go
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.
Cause they’d stick up for me.
[Chorus]
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
Cause he’s taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boy
I could turn off my phone
Tell everyone it’s broken
So they’d think that I was sleepin’ alone
I’d put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’d be faithful
Waitin’ for me to come home (to come home)
(Chorus)
It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say its just a mistake
Think I’d forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
(Chorus)
But you’re just a boy
You don’t understand
Yeah you don’t understand
How it feels to love a girl someday
You 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 everything you have got destroyed
But you’re just a boy
do u know at the startwhn your plucking the strings which ones do u pluck and what order cause i really cant get it
thnx! it was pretty easy. i thought it was going to be kind of hard but never mind. haha. anyways, thnx again. you also play very well. =]
I also need help with the plucking. Has someone written an answer cause I cant find it?
Think this is right, or atleast as he does in the video:
For Em7, G: 6th string(thickest one), 4th, 2nd, 3rd
For C: 5th, 4th, 2nd, 3rd
For D: 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd
Hope you get it, atleast that sounds good to me 🙂
hey,i wanted to ask,how do you tune ur guitar to the requirement?i really love this song and id appreciate it so much.
Get a tuner that shows what tune is being played, and it should show EADGBe (E for the thickest string and down).
Then you just loosen the E-string at first so it shows a D# if I remember correctly. Do the same thing with the rest of the strings (loosen them a bit).
Hope you get it! 🙂 /Jite
