[Intro] C#m G#m F#m x2 [Verse 1]
              C#m                G#m           F#m
If I was your boyfriend, I'd get myself a cool car

                    C#m                           G#m       F#m
And drive it to the village where you live, if it ain't too far

                  G#m  C#m         G#m    F#m
And we'd have us a hay day in your rustic nest

                 C#m                       G#m  F#m
That's if I could steal you away from your other guests

                     C#m              G#m       F#m
Course there'd be no wi-fi 'cause the signal is weak

                     C#m                 G#m     F#m
And the windows are drafty and your four-poster creaks

F#m                        G#m
Or maybe I could lure you out of your country home

A                               F#m F#m/G#    A
Back to the city where we could be together alone

                 C#m     G#m F#m
If I was your boyfriend
[Verse 2]
              C#m         G#m         F#m
If I was your boyfriend, sparks would fly

                 C#m                     G#m           F#m
You'd try to be clever all the time, and baby so would I

              C#m                      G#m F#m
You'd be outwitting my wit, keeping me perplexed

              C#m                      G#m         F#m
Poking at my personality in a game of intellectual sex

              C#m                G#m     F#m
But I'd kinda like it, and you'd like it too

         C#m                                  G#m       F#m
And we'd get to the real thing, maybe, after a month or two

F#m                              G#m
And once we were intimate, baby, I suspect we'd find

A                             F#m      F#m/G#    A
I'd be tender in your arms and you'd be honey in mine

                 C#m     G#m F#m
If I was your boyfriend
C#m G#m F#m [Verse 3]
              C#m                G#m      F#m
If I was your boyfriend, sugar, we'd have fun

        C#m                               G#m     F#m
Whether either of us turned out to be the other's one

              C#m                  G#m      F#m
We'd go to the West End, find some music and dance

                    C#m                 G#m     F#m
Dance would lead to talk ,and talk would lead to romance

                C#m               G#m        F#m
We'd sashay down Soho, through the glittering mob

                       C#m             G#m   F#m
Cardigan over your shoulders, hair in a funky bob

F#m                                 G#m
We'd cut through Leicester Square to see the lights explode

A                         F#m     F#m/G# A
Then go buy some books on Charing Cross Road

                 C#m        G#m F#m
If I was your boyfriend
C#m G#m F#m [Verse 4]
              C#m                   G#m      F#m
If I was your boyfriend, I'd screw up now and then

              C#m                                   F#m
'Cause no one gets it right all the time, especially men

                        C#m        G#m           F#m
But my heart would be loyal, and my hands would be kind

              C#m               G#m             F#m
And I'd love every turn of your far out elegant mind

                      C#m        G#m          F#m
Friday night would find us, in a hotel by the coast

                    C#m                G#m      F#m
We'd close the door behind us, and I'd draw you close

F#m                        G#m
We'd put on some Marvin to fill the room with grace

A                                          F#m     F#m/G# A
And make love by candlelight so we could see each others' face

                 C#m        G#m F#m
If I was your boyfriend

                 C#m        G#m F#m
If I was your boyfriend

                 C#m        G#m F#m
If I was your boyfriend

                 C#m        G#m F#m
If I was your boyfriend
