[INTRO]

[VERSE 1]
D
If I were the man I used to be I wouldn't stand here
C D
Waiting for you; I'd just walk away,
C D
Quietly, would you go look for me?
D
Hands that hold one another may never
C D
Touch the same again even then
C D
If I were the man it never would have been losing you
Bm A D
If I were the man;
[VERSE 2]
D
Take the times that we ever shared together and wrap them all in little
C D
Rings of clay and roll the rings away,
C D
Away from me you take the light of day;
D
Winds that softly blow the thought of losing you
C D
Across my mind, and leave behind
C D
In the shifting sands all my dreams and plans
Bm A D
If I were the man,
