[Verse 1]
Em C G
If I were a boy
D Em C G
Even just for a day
D Em C
I'd roll out of bed in the morning
G D Em C G
And throw on what I wanted and go
D Em C G
Drink beer with the guys
D Em C G D
And chase after girls
Em C
I'd kick it with who I wanted
G D
And I'd never get confronted for it
Em C G
'Cause they'd stick up for me
[Chorus]
D Em C G
If I were a boy
D Em C G D
I think I could understand
Em C
How it feels to love a girl
G D Em C G
I swear I'd be a better man
D Em C G
I?d listen to her
D Em C G D
Cause I know how it hurts
Em C
When you lose the one you wanted
G D
Cause he's taken you for granted
C
And everything you had got destroyed
[Verse 2]
Em C G
If I were a boy
D Em C G D
I would turn off my phone
Em C
Tell everyone it's broken
G D Em C G
So they think that I was sleeping alone
D Em C G
I'd put myself first
D Em C G D
And make the rules as I go
Em C
Cause I know that she'd be faithful
G D Em C G
Waiting for me to come home
[Chorus]
D Em C G
If I were a boy
D Em C G D
I think I could understand
Em C
How it feels to love a girl
G D Em C G
I swear I'd be a better man
D Em C G
I'd listen to her
D Em C G D
Cause I know how it hurts
Em C
When you lose the one you wanted
G D
Cause he's taken you for granted
C Am7
And everything you had got destroyed
[Bridge]
Am7 C G D Am
It's a little too late for you to come back
C Em
Say it's just a mistake
D Am
Think I forgive you like that
C Em D
If you thought I would wait for you
C
You thought wrong
[Verse 3]
Em C G
But you're just a boy
D Em C G D
You don't understand (yea you don't understand)
Em C
How it feels to love a girl, someday you'll
G D Em C G
Wish you were a.. better man
D Em C G
You don't listen to her
D Em C G
You don't care how it hurts
D Em C
Until you lose the one you wanted
G D
Cause you've taken her for granted
C
And everything you had got destroyed
Em C G D
But you're just a boy

If you want it in the original key of Ebm, Try this on capo 6 it's sounds soooo much better! :)
