Intro: Gb Db Bbm Ab Gb Db Ab Verse 1: Gb Db I was wrong to say I loved her Bbm Ab I was wrong to think I'm right Gb Db But when I told her it was over Ab My darling I had lied Gb Db I've been running from my demons Bbm Ab Afraid to look behind Gb Db I've been running from myself Ab Afraid of what I'd find Chorus 1: Gb But how am I supposed to love you Bbm When I don't love who I am Db And how can I give you all of me Ab When I'm only half a man Gb 'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning Bbm So let go of my hand Db And how can I give you all of me Ab When I'm only half a man Verse 2: Gb Db And now I'm stuck in this hotel room Bbm Ab By cold neon light Gb Db I've been waiting for an answer Ab But it don't come tonight Gb Db And every bottle I had stolen Bbm Ab It laid shattered on the floor Gb Db Ab What's broken can't be whole, anymore Chorus 2: Gb But how am I supposed to love you Bbm When I don't love who I am Db And how can I give you all of me Ab When I'm only half a man Gb 'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning Bbm So let go of my hand Db And how can I give you all of me Ab When I'm only half a man Bridge: Ebm Bbm Db Ab No one can ever hurt me Ebm Bbm Like I hurt myself Db Ab I'm made out of stone Ebm Bbm And I'm beyond help Db Ab Gb Db Ab So don't give your heart to me Chorus 3: Gb But how am I supposed to love you Bbm When I don't love who I am Db And how can I give you all of me Ab When I'm only half a man Gb 'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning Bbm So let go of my hand Db And how can I give you all of me Ab When I'm only half a man Outro: Gb Db Bbm Ab Gb Db Ab This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

How to play Half A Man on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the everywhere 4/4: d – d u – u d –. It rolls along at a relaxed pace of around 74 bpm. On this page the song is in Db major. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. Want friendlier shapes? Drop it 1 half-step, then a capo on fret 1 restores the key you see here. Play verses light and open the strum wide for the soaring chorus.
