She Was a Boy

she was a boy, it wasn't easy for her
i was a child to see it
she came alone to build her story
i was so young and loved her

go on you'll see
all that you want to be
while everybody's saying
hold on, you'll see
you’ll never be [Am]free
but we just kept on [C7]growing

she was [Am7]a boy with some feelings for [Dm7]me
i was [Am7]too wild and [Bm]missed it
i came alone to [C7]hear her story
while no one else was [Am7]worried

go on [C7]she said
or else you [A7will grow sad
while everybody doubted
hold on, they say
one day you’ll have to [C7]pay 
but i was [Am7]so afraid to [C7]go

hold on [C7]you're scared
you [A7only need to [C7]dare
while everybody's laughing
go on, you'll see
one day you'll be [Am]free
and [Bm]you [A7will understand [Bm]why

she was [Am7]a boy, she was [Am7]a boy, she was [Am7]a boy
hiding in herself but
she was [Am7]a boy, she was [Am7]a boy
she knew that everyone was [Am7]saying it

how much you [A7want to [C7]see

how much you [A7want to [C7]be [Am]
how much you [A7want to [C7]live, see her growing
how much you [A7want to [C7]see
how much you [A7want to [C7]be [Am]
how much you [A7want to [C7]live feel like [F]falling
how much you [A7want to [C7]see
how much you [A7want to [C7]be
wishing everyday you [A7could see her face again
how much you [A7want to [C7]give
how much you [A7want to [C7]live
she was [Am7]a boy

she was [Am7]a boy
but she was [Am7]there for [Dm7]me
i was [Am7]a child and
she was [Am7]a boy
