INTRO: 
C#   F#   G#7
Yea, hey, hey..(x2)

#1.
         C#      A#m        D#m
When I'm with my guy and he watches all 
    G#7             C#        F#   G#7
the pretty girls go by..(yea, hey, hey.)
        C#      A#m         D#m     G#7
Well, I feel so hurt deep inside, I wish 
             C#         F#   G#7
that I could die..(yea, hey, hey.)
A#m             F#  G#7 A#m
Not a word do I say.....I just look the 
      F#  G#7
other way.
G#7                  C#   A#m
Cause that's the way boys are..
         F#   G#7
(the way boys are.)
G#7            C#   A#m
that's the way boys are.
         F#   G#7
(the way boys are.)

#2.
        C#        A#m          D#m
When he treats me rough and he acts 
             G#7            C#
as though he doesn't really care..
      F#   G#7
(yea, hey, hey.)
        C#         A#m      D#m
Well, I never tell him that he is 
G#7  C#          F#   G#7
so unfair. (yea, hey, hey.)
A#m                     F#   G#7
Cause he loves me and I know it..
A#m                     F#   G#7
But he's just afraid to show it.
G#7                  C#   A#m
Cause that's the way boys are..
         F#   G#7
(the way boys are.)
G#7            C#   A#m
that's the way boys are.
         F#   G#7
(the way boys are.)

CHORUS:
    F#               G#7       C#
Oh, when he wants to be alone..I just 

let him be.
F#                D#           G#7
Cause I know that soon enough..he will 

come back to me.

#3.
G#7     C#     A#m      D#m
When we have a fight, I think that 
        G#7        C#          F#   G#7
I won't see him anymore. (yea, hey, hey.)
       C#     A#m               D#m
Then before I know it..there he is..
G#7            C#          F#   G#7
standin' at my door. (yea, hey, hey.)
A#m                     F#        G#7
Well, I let him kiss me there and then..
        A#m              F#    G#7
cause I know he wants me back again..
G#7            C#   A#m
that's the way boys are..
         F#   G#7
(the way boys are.)
     G#7            C#   A#m
yes, that's the way boys are.
         F#   G#7
(the way boys are.)

OUTRO:
      C#   A#m
Oh, I love him..
G#7                       C#   A#m
Well, now, that's the way boys are..
        F#         G#7 C#   A#m
