If I Were The Man You Wanted by Lyle Lovett
If I Were The Man You Wanted
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 3rd fret
[Intro]
D G D G D A D
[Verse 1]
D G D G D G A
They all sat around in a circle, They were laughing and all telling lies
G A D G D A D A
Then the tall one he bumped in a dollar, He said boys I've got nothing to hide
D G D G D G A
Now if the King and the Queen stood together, Then the Ace he would not be to blame
G A D G D A D
And if the cards were all laid on the table, Then love could be more than a game
[Chorus]
G A D
And if the stars didn't shine on the water
D C G
Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand
D G D G
And if I were the man she wanted
D A D
I would not be the man that I am
[Interlude]
|G | A D |
[Verse 2]
D G D G D G A
And I have seen my share of long nights, And I have told my share of lies
G A D G D A D A
And I have run into the darkness, When I saw the look in your eyes
D G D G D G A
But if the night didn't lie in the darkness, Then the daylight would be hard to find
G A D G D A D
And if the truth didn't turn to a weakness, I would never have spoken my mind
[Chorus]
G A D
And if the stars didn't shine on the water
D C G
Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand
D G D G
And if I were the man you wanted
D A D
I would not be the man that I am

[Bridge- same chords as Chorus]
G A D D C G
So if you're going out to California, Then don't linger in New Mexico
D G D G D A D
And if you think of the one there behind you, Then you might not feel so alone
[Chorus]
G A D
And if the stars didn't shine on the water
D C G
Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand
D G D G
And if I were the man you wanted
D A D
I would not be the man that I am
D G D G
And if I were the man you wanted
[Outro]
D A D
I would not be the man that I am
