F  Dm  Am  G

[Verse 1]
F
I prefer the river
    Dm                 Am             G
The ocean is too big a body to understand
F
Go to where it narrows
Dm
Bring your bow and arrow
Am                  Em
Meet me out on the land

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Dm                         F
White water flowing on the rocks in the sunshine
Am              G
Drinking red wine in the summertime
Dm                              F
Night swimming, skinny dipping, love in the moonlight
Am               Em
And it's all mine

[Chorus]
                 F        Dm
I don't want a boyfriend
                 Am               G
I don't want a house built on the sand
                F      Dm
I don't want a lover
          Am
I want a man
   G             F
A coming-from-the-heart man
Dm            Am
Living in my heartland
Em              F        Dm  Am  Em  N.C
Coming-from-the-heart man

[Verse 2]
F                          Dm
Underneath the covers of treetops and each other
 Am                  G
Awoken by a gentle breeze
F
Are we here in silence
Dm
The birds and smells of lilacs
Am                 Em
Going out from a city

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Dm                            F
Bird calling, water falling, dreams in the sunshine
Am              G
Drinking red wine in the summertime
F                          Dm
Sun tan and Steely Dan and sounds on the radio
Am               Em
And it's all mine

[Chorus]
                 F        Dm
I don't want a boyfriend
                 Am               G
I don't want a house built on the sand
                F      Dm
I don't want a lover
          Am
I want a man
   G             F
A coming-from-the-heart man
Dm            Am
Living in my heartland
Em              F        Dm  Am  Em
Coming-from-the-heart man

[Bridge]
F                 Dm                    Am     Em
Sweet like honey dripping, oh touch and taste
F              Dm                    Am     Em
Lights my fire burning all night and day
F
Your soul so stunning
Dm                Am    Em
Taking my breath away
F         Dm                   Am    Em
My desire reaching out for the flame

[Chorus]
                 F        Dm
I don't want a boyfriend
                 Am               G
I don't want a house built on the sand
                F      Dm
I don't want a lover
          Am
I want a man
   G             F
A coming-from-the-heart man
Dm            Am
Living in my heartland
Em              F        Dm
Coming-from-the-heart man
         Am
I want a man
          Em
(I want a man)
       F
In my heartland
Dm              Am
Coming-from-the-heart man
Em           F          Dm  Am  Em
Living in my heartland

    [calm part]
                 F        Dm
I don't want a boyfriend
                 Am               G
I don't want a house built on the sand
                F      Dm
I don't want a lover
          Am
I want a man.
