Em
Or, at least that’s what I think this feeling is,
         F#m
Take red pen to my paper,
                                  D
Correct mistakes that God somehow did.


[Verse 2]
N.C.             D
I wanna befriend bugs,
                           Em
Climb tall trees, scrap my knees,
Em
And show I am tough,
     F#m
Only cry in the night time,
                          D
My bed is the thing I can trust.


[Chorus]
D
Cuz I’ve grown sick of staring,
G
Hours in the mirror,
G
Moulding cheekbones,
D
Hoping a new face could appear,
D                      G
I’ll break and bend my spine,
G                            A
If it’d make you say “you’re mine”,
A
It’s so unfair!
N.C.                 D
I guess I wanna be a boy.


[Interlude]
D
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
D  Em  F#m
D
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
D
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
D  Em  F#m
D
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.


[Verse 3]
N.C.         D
I wanna be a boy,
                      Em
Spread my legs when I sit,
Em
I don’t need manners, they’re shit,
       F#m
Rip my nails, cut my hair,
                             D
Cuz maybe then you’d finally care.


[Verse 4]
N.C.                  D
Why can’t I just be a boy,
                        Em
Be the thing that gives you,
Em
Butterflies,
        F#m
Whisper that I’ll make you smile,
                                 D
Could we pretend that’s me for a while.


[Chorus]
D
Cuz I’ve grown sick of staring,
G
Hours in the mirror,
G
Moulding cheekbones,
D
Hoping a new face could appear,
D                      G
I’ll break and bend my spine,
G                            A
If it’d make you say “you’re mine”,
A
You’re mine,
       D
You’re mine”,


[Interlude]
D
D  Em  F#m
D
D  Em  F#m
D  G  D
G  A


[Outro]
N.C.         D
I wanna be a boy,
                    Em7
Or at least be in a body,
Em7
You could love,
    G
I’d break and bend my spine,
G
If it’d make you say “You’re mine”,
         A
Could it make you say “You’re mine?”,
A              N.C.
It’s so unfair,
N.C.                     D
I wish I could just be a boy.
