[Verse 1]

Em                    G          
You know he's not the one for you
      C                 A
 but that's no fault of mine
Em                   G           
He knows that I'm a friend of 
               C                   
yours but doesn't know I've crossed
     A
 the line
Em                  G       
I know you've got a man in the 
                  C                
picture but it hasn't stopped me 
  A
yet
Em              G             
We've all be in one situation or 
    C            A
another we regret


[Chorus 1]

            Em        G        
Now I'm the other man   No one's 
   C            A
rooting for me
            Em       G         C 
If I'm the other man   Nature 
           A
will abhor me

Em  G  C  A

[Verse 2]

Em                G              
You know I wanna keep my distance
             C              A
 'cause it's happening anyway
Em                    G          
He knows you're gonna drift apart
             C                A
 and there's nothing he can say
Em                   G           
I know that he's a stand up guy 
           C               A
but that's none of my concern
Em                 G             
We've all been in one situation 
   C                A
or another, it's my turn


[Chorus 2]

          Em        G      
To be the other man   No one 
  C         A
sympathizes
                Em        G      
When you're the other man   
C         A
Everyone despises


[Bridge]

                 C                 
He's gonna find out that the rumors
     Em
 are true
                 G                 
Although they are still unbeknownst
   C
 to you
           Em                  
He'll find out so I'll tell you 
    G
because
               C              A
You gotta find out before he does


[Verse 3]

Em                  G       
I know you've got a man in the 
                  C                
picture but it hasn't stopped me 
  A
yet
Em               G            
We've all be in one situation or 
    Em             G
another we regret


[Chorus 3]

            C         A        
Now I'm the other man   No one's 
   Em          G
rooting for me
            C        A         
If I'm the other man   Nature 
Cmaj7      B
will abhor me
