Cause I’m a Man (Because I’m a Man)

Intro:

   E
   G  Dmaj7

Verse 1:
E                 D
  Like the brutal autumn sun
   E                 Dmaj7
It dawns on me, what have I done?
E                               D
  Saying sorry ain't as good as saying why
       E                     Dmaj7
But it buys me a little more time

Pre-chorus 1:
G                          A
  Lost in the moment for a second time
G                             A
  Each xxxx-up that I make, unleash a cry
G                               A
  I'm just pathetic, that's the reason why
G                         A
  In desperation all that you can do
   B
Is ask me why

Chorus:
             E         G  Dmaj7
'Cause I'm a man, woman
             E                 D   Dmaj7
Don't always think before I do
             E         G  Dmaj7
'Cause I'm a man, woman
              E                   D
It's the only answer I got for you

             E         G  Dmaj7
'Cause I'm a man, woman
          E                     D  Dmaj7
Not often proud of what I choose
        E         G  Dmaj7
I'm a human, woman
         E                D
A greater force I answer to

Verse 2:
E                  D
  Once again as it takes a hold
  E                 Dmaj7
I am aware, I'm not in control, see
E                              D
  I have a conscience and it's never fooled
         E                  Dmaj7
but it's prone to being overruled

Pre-chorus 2:
G                             A
  You wanna know why I always think I'm right (why?)
G                             A
  You never accept defeat and let it slide (why?)
G                            A
  I have no voice if I don't speak my mind (why?)
G                              A
  My weakness is the source of all my pride
     B
I'll tell you why

Chorus:
             E          G  Dmaj7
'Cause I'm a man, woman
            E          D  Dmaj7
Don't always think before I do
             E          G  Dmaj7
'Cause I'm a man, woman
              E                   D
It's the only answer I got for you

             E          G  Dmaj7
'Cause I'm a man, woman
           E                  D  Dmaj7
I'll never be as strong as you
        E          G  Dmaj7
I'm a human, human
         E                D
A greater force I answer to
