Tone [G]
Capo 1
[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
