Man I Am Today

intro: D A G D D x2

D                  G   D        
When I was smaller wishing I was
       A D
 taller
D                      A      D
I woke up one morning and my mama 
was gone
D                            G  
I tried to talk to my father he 
D                   A   D
told me not to bother him
D                     A     D
he said boy being a man means being 
strong
no chords
Now leave me alone          D G D

chorus
D                 G              
So you say you wanna see behind 
      D    D G A D
the curtain
Continues after the ad
 D                G               
you wanna know why I don't show it
        D         A D
 when I'm hurting
A                                 
It never did me any good before so
       G                 D
 long ago I locked that door
D                       G        
But please don't think I'm 
        D
pushing you away
D       no chords
It's just the man I am today

intro

Before I was loved by you I didn't 
know how to
Love was nothing to me but a four 
letter word
But I'm learning being strong don't 
mean being alone
So just hold on girl and soon you're
 gonna know
The man I'll be tomorrow
