If I Were The Man You Wanted

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

[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

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

I would not be the man that I am
