Dua Lipa - Boys Will Be Boys

[verse 1]
Ab                           Eb
It's second nature to walk home
before the sun goes down
Bb
And put your keys between your knuckles
             Cm
when there's boys around
Ab                     Eb
Isn't it funny how we laugh it off to
hide our fear
Bb                                 Cm
When there's nothing funny here? (Ah)
Ab                       Eb
Sick intuition that they taught us,
so we won't freak out
Bb                         Cm
We hide our figures, doing anything to
shut their mouths
Ab                        Eb
We smile away to ease the tension so it
don't go south
Bb
  But there's nothing funny now (Ah)

[pre-chorus]
Ab             Eb
When will we stop saying things?
                Bb
'Cause they're all listening
         Cm
No, the kids ain't alright
Ab            Eb
Oh, and they do what they see
             Bb
'Cause it's all on TV
Oh, the kids ain't alright

[chorus]
Ab
Boys will be, boys will be
Eb                           Bb
Boys will be, boys will be boys
     Cm
But girls will be women
Ab
Boys will be, boys will be
Eb                           Bb
Boys will be, boys will be boys
     Cm
But girls will be women

[verse 2]
Ab
I'm sure if there's something that
Eb
I can't find the words to say
Bb
I know that there will be a man around to
save the day
Ab
And that was sarcasm,
   Eb
in case you needed it mansplained
Bb                            Cm
I should've stuck to ballet (Ah)

[pre-chorus]
Ab             Eb
When will we stop saying things?
                Bb
'Cause they're all listening
         Cm
No, the kids ain't alright
Ab            Eb
Oh, and they do what they see
             Bb
'Cause it's all on TV
Oh, the kids ain't alright

[chorus]
Ab
Boys will be, boys will be
Eb                           Bb
Boys will be, boys will be boys
     Cm
But girls will be women
Ab
Boys will be, boys will be
Eb                           Bb
Boys will be, boys will be boys
     Cm
But girls will be women

[bridge]
Ab              Eb              Bb
  If you're offended by this song
         Cm                     Ab
You're clearly doing something wrong
              Eb             Bb
If you're offended by this song
               Bb
Then you're probably saying
Boys will be, boys will be
Boys will be, boys will be boys
But girls will be women

[pre-chorus]
Ab             Eb
When will we stop saying things?
                Bb
'Cause they're all listening
         Cm
No, the kids ain't alright
Ab            Eb
Oh, and they do what they see
             Bb
'Cause it's all on TV
Oh, the kids ain't alright

[chorus]
Ab
Boys will be, boys will be
Eb                           Bb
Boys will be, boys will be boys
     Cm
But girls will be women
Ab
Boys will be, boys will be
Eb                           Bb
Boys will be, boys will be boys
But girls will be women
