🎶 The Man

tone [A#]
==

Verse1
I would be [Em]complex, I would be [Db]cool
They'd say I [A#]played the field before I found [Bb]someone to commit to
And that would be [Em]okay for me to [Db]do
Every [A#]conquest I had made would make me [Bb]more of a boss to you

Pre-chorus
[Em] I'd be a fearless leader
[Db] I'd be an alpha type
[A#]When everyone believes ya
[Bb] What's that like?

Chorus
[Em]I'm so sick of running as [Db]fast as I can
[A#] Wondering if I'd get there quicker if [Bb]I was a man
And [Em]I'm so sick of them coming [Db]at me again
'Cause if [A#]I was a man, then [Bb]I'd be the man
I'd be the [Em]man [Db]
I'd be the [A#]man [Bb]

Verse 2
They'd say I [Em]hustled, put in the [Db]work
They wouldn't [A#]shake their heads and question how much [Bb]of this I deserve
What I was [Em]wearing, if I was [Db]rude
Could all be [A#]separated from my good [Bb]ideas and power moves

Pre-chorus
[Em] And they would toast to me, [Db]oh, let the players play
[A#] I'd be just like [Bb]Leo in Saint Tropez

Chorus
[Em]I'm so sick of running as [Db]fast as I can
[A#] Wondering if I'd get there quicker if [Bb]I was a man
And [Em]I'm so sick of them coming [Db]at me again
'Cause if [A#]I was a man, then [Bb]I'd be the man
I'd be the [Em]man [Db]
I'd be the [A#]man [Bb]

Bridge
What's it like to brag about [Em]drinking and dollars
And getting [Db]bitches and models?
And it's all [A#]good if you're bad
And it's [Bb]okay if you're mad
If I was out [Em]flashing my dollars, I'd be a [Db]bitch not a baller
They'd paint me [A#]out to be bad
So, it's [Bb]okay that I'm mad

Chorus
[Em]I'm so sick of running as [Db]fast as I can
[A#] Wondering if I'd get there quicker if [Bb]I was a man (You know that)
And [Em]I'm so sick of them coming [Db]at me again (Coming at me again)
'Cause if [A#]I was a man (If I was a man)
Then [Bb]I'd be the man (Then I'd be the man)
[Em]I'm so sick of running as [Db]fast as I can (As fast as I can)
[A#] Wondering if I'd get there quicker if [Bb]I was a man (Hey)
And [Em]I'm so sick of them coming [Db]at me again (Coming at me again)
'Cause if [A#]I was a man (If I was a man), then [Bb]I'd be the man
I'd be the [Em]man [Db]
I'd be the [A#]man [Bb](Oh)
I'd be the [Em]man [Db](Yeah)
I'd be the [A#]man [Bb](I'd be the man)

Outro
If I was a man, then I'd be the man⠀⠀
