Only A Man

Cm7   |       |

[Verse 1]
Cm7                       
Only a man who's broken can 
    F9                         Bb
appreciate the awful pain I feel
F/A              Gm              
Only a man who's world is always 
G7            Cm7
real can ever know
Cm7             F9               
And who could understand the all 
           Bb
consuming pain
F/A               Gm             
Only a man who's weeping in the 
G7                 C6
rain knows where to go

[Chorus]
             F9
And it's not easy
          Bb          F/A      
When you realize that you are on 
       Gm
your own
G7       C6
  Ah, ah
                F9
No, no it's not easy
          Bb                  F/A 
When you face the thought of 
        Gm  G7 |  Cm7  |     |
living all alone

[Verse 2]
Cm7                               
Only a man who wanders through the
  F9                        Bb
 emptiness of every passing day
F/A                   Gm         
This is the man whose eyes know 
       G7              Cm7
what to see and what to say
Continues after the ad
               F9                  
And who could ever know the feeling
        Bb
 in my heart
F/A               Gm             
Only a man whose hopes and dreams
      G7          C6
 are broken all apart

[Chorus]
              F9
And it's not easy
          Bb              F/A     
When you reach out in the dark to 
          Gm
touch her face
G7       C6
  Ah, Ah
                F9
No, no it's not easy
        Bb               F/A      
When instead you touch a pillow in
      Gm   G7 | Cm7
 her place

[Interlude] (with vocal ad lib)
Cm7    |  F9  |  Bb F/A  | Gm  G7  |
Cm7    |  F9  |  Bb F/A  | Gm  G7

  | C6

[Chorus]
              F9
And it's not easy
          Bb             F/A   
When you think about the way she 
            Gm
combs her hair

G7       C6
  Ah, Ah
                 F9
No no, it's not easy
         Bb         F/A         
When the memory of her is 
Gm   G7  |  Cm7  |      |
everywhere

[Verse 3]
Cm7                         
Only a man who lies awake and 
   F9                          Bb
wonders will he never smile again
F/A              Gm              
This is the only man whose lonely
   G7             Cm7
 nights can never end
           F9                      
And if you want to know the kind of
           Bb
 man he'll be
    F/A                   Gm      
Oh, listen my friend I'll tell you
         G7              C6
 all you have to know is me

[Chorus]
             F9       C6
And it's not easy, no no
          F9   C6
It's not easy
             F9    C6
Oh, it's not easy, oh
F9        C6
  Oh, oh, ah
