[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
