C             Dm              G                C
You've got to learn to lie to make everyone happy
    C               Dm             G                  C    C7
and you're going to have to cry to make it on your ow-n

    F       G            C               Am
but I can't see you now, put down your hands
    F       G             C              C7
no, I can't feel you now, give me your hands
      F         G           C               Am
cause I've been waiting as long as I can stand
F                        G
 so if you ever need someone,
              C
I'll be your man
      Em            Am
yeah, I'll be your man
      G              F G C
yeah, I'll be your man

(intro)

you don't have to go and die
to show people you're hurting
and you're going to have to try
put out the fire if you're burning

but I can't see you now, put down your hands
no, I can't feel you now, give me your hands
cause we've been waiting as long as we can stand
and should you ever need anyone, I'll be your man
yeah, I'll be your man
yeah, I'll be your man

(solo) - play verse

       F                  G
now, I read through your poetry
      C          Am
yeah, every last one
            F             G
felt like I ate too much butter
    C                 C7
and drank too much rum
cause it made me feel sweet inside
warm, proud, and young
I've been sick inside
and angry at everyone

and I wish i could touch you
if I wasn't miles away
we could talk it all out
in your clean white place

now I've done all the waiting I think I can stand
F                 G
and I want you to know
F                   G
yeah, I want you to know
F             G
I want you to know
I think you've found your man
yeah, I'll be your man
yeah, you've found your man
come home to him

end on C
