[G] It's second nature to walk [D] home before the sun goes down
[A] And put your keys between your [Bm] knuckles when there's boys around
[G] Isn't it funny how we [D] laugh it off to hide our fear
[A] When there's nothing funny here? [Bm] (Ah)
[G] Sick intuition that they [D] taught us, so we won't freak out
[A] We hide our figures, doing any[Bm] thing to shut their mouths
[G] We smile away to ease the [D] tension so it don't go south
[A] But there's nothing funny now [Bm] (Ah)
[G] When will we [D] stop saying things?
'Cause they're [A] all listening
No, the [Bm] kids ain't alright
[G] Oh, and they [D] do what they see
'Cause it's [D] all on TV
Oh, the kids ain't al[Bm] right
[G] Boys will be, boys will be
[D] Boys will be, boys will be [A] boys
But [Bm] girls will be women
[G] Boys will be, boys will be
[D] Boys will be, boys will be [A] boys
But [Bm] girls will be women
[G] I'm sure if there's something that [D] I can't find the words to say
[A] I know that there will be a man around to [Bm] save the day
[G] And that was sarcasm, in [D] case you needed it mansplained
[A] I should've stuck to ballet [Bm] (Ah)
[G] When will we [D] stop saying things?
'Cause they're [A] all listening
No, the [Bm] kids ain't alright
[G] Oh, and they [D] do what they see
'Cause it's [A] all on TV
Oh, the kids ain't al[Bm] right
[G] Boys will be, boys will be
[D] Boys will be, boys will be [A] boys
But [Bm] girls will be women
[G] Boys will be, boys will be
[D] Boys will be, boys will be [A] boys
But [Bm] girls will be women
[G] If you're of[D] fended by this [A] song
You're [Bm] clearly doing something [G] wrong
If you're of[D] fended by this [A] song
Then you're pro[A] bably saying
Boys will be, boys will be.
Boys will be, boys will be boys
But girls will be women
[G] When will we [D] stop saying things?
'Cause they're [A] all listening
No, the [Bm] kids ain't alright
[G] Oh, and they [D] do what they see
'Cause it's [A] all on TV
Oh, the kids ain't al[Bm] right
[G] Boys will be, boys will be
[D] Boys will be, boys will be [A] boys
But [Bm] girls will be women
[G] Boys will be, boys will be
[D] Boys will be, boys will be [A] boys
But girls will be women
