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