[Intro]
  Bm       E

[Verse 1]
I don't wanna see any
           A      F#m
 of your friends
   Bm   E
I don't
I know it's hard for
             A     F#m
you to be alone
But that's where
       Bm
we're different
        E
I'd be emotionless
          A      F#m
all the way if I could
Bm
I should take your advice
  E                  A
and find someone new
   D             A    E
So I could have two

[Pre-Chorus]
   A          F#m
I don't want to
Bm
Fell asleep with your
       E
 hand on my skull
           A         F#m
And my face in your lap
      Bm             E
At the Bowery Hotel, missing you
           A       F#m
How did I fall so fast?
            Bm
Seems like everything I
             E
 do take me further from you

[Chorus]
E
Three boys would work if
                          A
I wasn't so tethered to you
           F#m
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
               Bm
What should I do?
             E
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
               A
I can't even choose
           F#m
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
                 Bm
I'm tethered to you,
            E
hey (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Verse 2]
A             F#m
 You pray to God that
                  Bm
 it would leave (It won't lеave)
              E
All that you feel for me
                A
(All that you feel)
             F#m
It won't be light,
                    Bm
 it won't feel right
                     E
My hand around your nеck
                       A
 that you're tortured by
 F#m
Spend a lot of time with you,
          Bm
 I can't let go
    E
I know there's some
                   A
things you can't speak
      F#m
But thoughts of a third
          Bm    E
make me weak, weak

How to play 3 Boys: key, chords and progression

These are 3 Boys chords by Omar Apollo on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

3 Boys by Omar Apollo is written in A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯) and moves through 5 chords: Bm, E, A, F#m and D.

Listen for E – A – F#m – Bm (V – I – vi – ii in A major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is soh – doh – lah – reh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes Am, D, G, Em, C (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 60% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
