The Man In Me

E
There's a man in me, he's cold and 
he's hard
He's got an eye for deception, he's 
always on guard
     D                     A
He's swimming in concrete, drowning 
in fear
       E
And he keeps it all locked in his 
heart

E
This man is a tyrant, a fault 
finding hack
You can't tell him nothing, there's 
no turning back
          D                        
He leaves blood on the highway and 
A
scattered debris
          E
He crawls from the wreckage but he 
still doesn't see
     D      A          E
He's alive, the man is jive

There's a man in the mirror, I don't
 like his looks
His teeth they are crooked, his 
hands are like hooks

He speaks four letter language 
because his mind is so small
His voice is like venom, I don't 
like him at all
God, I gotta get away from the man 
in me

         A                     
She says what are you afraid of 
         G
there's no need to judge
    B                          
You know I can help you but you 
 E
won't even budge
       A                        G 
Pretty flowers surround you but 
                     E
all you can smell is a rat

She says Why do you insist on your 
head in the sand
Building walls all around you, you 
don't understand
These ways are outmoded but all you 
can change is your hat
   D                A        
The man in me don't wanna know 
                E
nothing about that

There's a man in the closet, he 
wants to come out
He wants to be noticed but he's so 
filled with doubt
He wants to be well known and famous
 but he's so filled with pride
The keys to his fortune stay locked 
up inside
Can it be the man in me?

She says Now what are you afraid of,
 There's nothing to fear
You want me to help but you won't 
let me near
In your heart you can hear me but 
all you believe are your eyes

Tell me why you're convinced that a 
fist in your face
Is all you deserve from love you've 
misplaced
The truth is salvation but all you 
believe in are lies
The man in me wants to believe, but 
he won't even try

There's man in me and he's so full 
of hate
He's so misdirected, he thinks it's 
too late
Pours salt on the wounds only time 
wants to heal
He's dying inside and he don't wanna
 feel
Anything, the man is strange
