[Strophe]
Em                G 
Well I'll be on my way 
C                Bm7      Am7 
This is what she told me, told me 
Em                          G 
That I've got to much on my plate 
C              Bm7      Am7 
Baby you don't know me, know me 
Em            G 
So why am I afraid 
C 
To be the one who asks the questions 
Bm7               Am7 
I'm looking for directions 
Em                  G 
Sorta hoping you'd explain
[Refrain]
C             Bm7               Emaj7sus4 
How to be the man that you were looking 
Em*                    Em       G       C 
Man your were looking for 
              Bm7               Am7     Em       G       C       Bm7     Am7 
How to be the man that you were looking for
[Strophe]
Em                              G 
I think you thought this was a game 
C                           Bm7       Am7 
But the rules are there for breaking, breaking 
Em                  G 
So I guess I am to blame 
C                      Bm7     Am7 
That's why my heart is aching, aching 
Em               G 
While my bodies numb 
              C 
I'll continue looking for the answer 
     Bm7            Am7 
Your love is like a cancer 
Em                     G 
And I hope its not to late
[Refrain]
C         Bm7               Emaj7sus4 
To be the man that you were looking 
Em*                    Em       G       C 
Man your were looking for 
              Bm7               Am7     Em       G       C 
How to be the man that you were looking for 
              Bm7               Am7     Em       G       C       Bm7     Am7 
How to be the man that you were looking for
[Outro]
Em              Am7 
Running, always running 
Em 
Away 
      Am7                   Em 
All I need, is for you to stay 
Em              Am7 
Running, always running 
Em 
Away 
      Am7                  B7 
All I need, is for you to say  
             Em*                    Em       G       C 
That I'm the Man your were looking for
