 G#                         D#
It's second nature to walk home before the sun goes down
 A#                              Cm
And put your keys between your knuckles when there's  boys around
G#                     D#
Isn't it funny how we laugh it off to hide our fear
 A#                                Cm
When there's nothing funny here? (Ah)

Sick intuition that they taught us, so we won't freak out
We hide our figures, doing anything to shut their mouths
We smile away to ease the tension so it don't go south
But there's nothing funny now (Ah)

 G#            D#
When will we stop saying things?
               A#
'Cause they're all listening
         Cm
No, the kids ain't alright
G#           D#
Oh, and they do what they see
            A#
'Cause it's all on TV
                     Cm
Oh, the kids ain't alright

Chorus:
 G#
Boys will be, boys will be
 D#                         A#
Boys will be, boys will be boys
     Cm
But girls will be women
 G#
Boys will be, boys will be
 D#                         A#
Boys will be, boys will be boys
     Cm
But girls will be women

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

When will we stop saying things
'Cause they're all listening?
No, the kids ain't alright
Oh, and they do what they see
'Cause it's all on TV
Oh, the kids ain't alright

Chorus

G#           D#             A#
If you're offended by this song
         Cm                     G#
You're clearly doing something wrong
            D#              A#
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

When will we stop saying things
'Cause they're all listening?
No, the kids ain't alright
Oh, and they do what they see
'Cause it's all on TV
Oh, the kids ain't alright

Chorus
