Intro:

B  C#m  E  G#m  C#m  E/B

Verse 1:
       B            C#m          E
I've always been particular with what I like
     B                   C#m              E
My momma says there's nothing wrong with having a type
     G#m                 C#m            E/B
But I'm just like the princess and the pea
     G#m     C#m                    E/B
If it's not right, then I'll just leave
     G#m         E/B   G#m  E/B
Then I'll just leave, leave

Verse 2:
  B                C#m         E
There's something scary about people I can't read
    B                C#m            E
And I can't read your mind so your confusing me
  G#m      C#m
I'm not Cinderella
            E/B
I'll find a shoe that fits me better
G#m           C#m             E/B
Glass breaks easily and I'm not so naive

Chorus:
C#m          F#/D#
  If I could build a boy
   E
A boy that wouldn't leave
C#m            F#/D#               E
He'd bend and break and love and smile along with me
C#m             F#/D#         E
We'd both be opposites and similar you see
C#m           F#/D#    E
   If I could build a boy
C#m                             E
   If I could build the boy for me

Verse 3:
    B             C#m              E
I think you got a little tired of playing nice
B                 C#m            E
Good boys finish last, oh isn't that right
G#m                C#m
You asked me for a song
             E/B
So here's a verse, sing along
              G#m           C#m
It's not the story that you wanted
       E/B
But I'm so poliet

Chorus:
C#m          F#/D#
  If I could build a boy
   E
A boy that wouldn't leave
C#m            F#/D#               E
He'd bend and break and love and smile along with me
C#m             F#/D#         E
We'd both be opposites and similar you see
C#m           F#/D#    E
   If I could build a boy
C#m                             E
   Wish I could build the boy for me

We'd both be opposites and similar you see
C#m           F#/D#    E
