Tom:
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”,
[Próxima Parte]
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]
[Próxima Parte]
A
You’re mine,
D
You’re mine”,
[Interlude]
D Em F#m 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.
