Im Not The Man

               D              Bm
What will they write about me
F#m           A               G 
What will the version be when 
     D/G        A
all is said and done
            D      Bm             
Will they remember all of the 
   F#m
places seen
    A                 G    
The poem's lost or am I just 
  D/G       A
wandering on
G        D         A
I'm just wandering on

[Chorus 1]
               G           Em
There could be fewer days ahead than
 gone
    Bm
And all I've spent
    A               G
Are long since on my way
            Em           Bm        A
To learning nothing comes for free
                Em  D
But I'm not the man
            G    A
I'm not the man
          G   Em  Bm  A
I used to be

[Verse 1]
      D                    Bm
So it all comes out in the wash
               F#m
What would you see?
A                      G          
Tattered pages and the ink stained
 D               A
 pockets of your jeans
                Bm          Gmaj7 
So I've come to pay my respects at
         A
 the wake
     F#m                   G      
I've buried it all and I'm dancing
    D      A
 on my own grave
         G          D      A
Yeah I'm dancing on my own grave

[Chorus 2]
               G          Em
There could be fewer days ahead than
 gone
Bm
And all I've spent
Continues after the ad
    A            G
Are long since on my way
            Em                Bm  
To learning nothing comes for free
  A

                Em  D
But I'm not the man
            G    A
I'm not the man
          D   A/C#  Bm  A
I used to be

[Bridge]
G     A          Bm    A
Don't leave me behind
G     A          Bm    A
Don't leave me behind
                G
Like I left you behind

[Chorus 1]
               G          Em
There could be fewer days ahead than
 gone
Bm           A
And all I've spent
    G
Are long since on my way
            Em                Bm  
To learning nothing comes for free
  A


        G              Em
I had a lot of time to waste
            Bm            A
I wrote the lines upon my face
        G        Em                
Chasing down the shots they bought 
Bm      A
for me
                G    D/F#
But I'm not the man
            G    D/F#
I'm not the man
            G    A
I'm not the man
              G   Em  Bm  A
But I used to be

[Outro 1]
          G              Em
I used to be my father's son
          Bm        A
I used to be number one

          G            Em
I used to be paper and pencil
          Bm         A
I used to be endless potential

          G             Em
I used to be heaven and earth
          Bm        A
I used to be my net worth

          G                    
I used to be one public drunken 
 Em
moment
          Bm               A
I used to be high paid and low rent

          G             Em
I used to be a man on a mission
              Bm
My best chart position
               A
The man in the mirror

                   G
Your brother, your killer
             Em
A new day, a new town
                     Bm
Your racehorse, your cash cow
               A
Till I let you all down

[Outro 2]
              G   D/F#
Now I want to be
          G   A
I want to be
          D
Just want to be
