tone [C]
Verse1
I would be [F] complex, I would be [G] cool
They'd say I [C] played the field before I found [Am] someone to commit to
And that would be [F] okay for me to [G] do
Every [C] conquest I had made would make me [Am] more of a boss to you
Pre-chorus
[F] I'd be a fearless leader
[G] I'd be an alpha type
[C] When everyone believes ya
[Am] What's that like?
Chorus
[F] I'm so sick of running as [G] fast as I can
[C] Wondering if I'd get there quicker if [Am] I was a man
And [F] I'm so sick of them coming [G] at me again
'Cause if [C] I was a man, then [Am] I'd be the man
I'd be the [F] man [G]
I'd be the [C] man [Am]
Verse 2
They'd say I [F] hustled, put in the [G] work
They wouldn't [C] shake their heads
and question how much [Am] of this I deserve
What I was [F] wearing, if I was [G] rude
Could all be [C] separated from my good [Am] ideas and power moves
Pre-chorus
[F] And they would toast to me, [G] oh, let the players play
[C] I'd be just like [Am] Leo in Saint Tropez
Chorus
[F] I'm so sick of running as [G] fast as I can
[C] Wondering if I'd get there quicker if [Am] I was a man
And [F] I'm so sick of them coming [G] at me again
'Cause if [C] I was a man, then [Am] I'd be the man
I'd be the [F] man [G]
I'd be the [C] man [Am]
Bridge
What's it like to brag about [F] drinking and dollars
And getting [G] bitches and models?
And it's all [C] good if you're bad
And it's [Am] okay if you're mad
If I was out [F] flashing my dollars, I'd be a [G] bitch not a baller
They'd paint me [C] out to be bad
So, it's [Am] okay that I'm mad
Chorus
[F] I'm so sick of running as [G] fast as I can
[C] Wondering if I'd get there quicker if [Am] I was a man (You know that)
And [F] I'm so sick of them coming [G] at me again (Coming at me again)
'Cause if [C] I was a man (If I was a man)
Then [Am] I'd be the man (Then I'd be the man)
[F] I'm so sick of running as [G] fast as I can (As fast as I can)
[C] Wondering if I'd get there quicker if [Am] I was a man (Hey)
And [F] I'm so sick of them coming [G] at me again (Coming at me again)
'Cause if [C] I was a man (If I was a man), then [Am] I'd be the man
I'd be the [F] man [G]
I'd be the [C] man [Am] (Oh)
I'd be the [F] man [G] (Yeah)
I'd be the [C] man [Am] (I'd be the man)
Outro
If I was a man, then I'd be the man
