🎶 Boys Will Be Boys

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

[Db]When will we [Cb]stop saying things?
'Cause they're [Bbm]all listening
No, the [A#m]kids ain't alright
[Db]Oh, and they [Cb]do what they see
'Cause it's [Cb]all on TV
Oh, the kids ain't al[A#m]right

[Db]Boys will be, boys will be
[Cb]Boys will be, boys will be [Bbm]boys
But [A#m]girls will be women
[Db]Boys will be, boys will be
[Cb]Boys will be, boys will be [Bbm]boys
But [A#m]girls will be women

[Db]I'm sure if there's something that [Cb]I can't find the words to say
[Bbm]I know that there will be a man around to [A#m]save the day
[Db]And that was sarcasm, in [Cb]case you needed it mansplained
[Bbm]I should've stuck to ballet [A#m](Ah)

[Db]When will we [Cb]stop saying things?
'Cause they're [Bbm]all listening
No, the [A#m]kids ain't alright
[Db]Oh, and they [Cb]do what they see
'Cause it's [Bbm]all on TV
Oh, the kids ain't al[A#m]right

[Db]Boys will be, boys will be
[Cb]Boys will be, boys will be [Bbm]boys
But [A#m]girls will be women
[Db]Boys will be, boys will be
[Cb]Boys will be, boys will be [Bbm]boys
But [A#m]girls will be women

[Db]If you're of[Cb]fended by this [Bbm]song
You're [A#m]clearly doing something [Db]wrong
If you're of[Cb]fended by this [Bbm]song
Then you're pro[Bbm]bably saying
Boys will be, boys will be.
Boys will be, boys will be boys
But girls will be women

[Db]When will we [Cb]stop saying things?
'Cause they're [Bbm]all listening
No, the [A#m]kids ain't alright
[Db]Oh, and they [Cb]do what they see
'Cause it's [Bbm]all on TV
Oh, the kids ain't al[A#m]right

[Db]Boys will be, boys will be
[Cb]Boys will be, boys will be [Bbm]boys
But [A#m]girls will be women
[Db]Boys will be, boys will be
[Cb]Boys will be, boys will be [Bbm]boys
But girls will be women⠀
