Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
I do love this song, and I didn't see a version with the lyrics and chords on the site, so I decided to
write this out. This version is pretty close to the album, not 100% sure of that Em in the bridge (could be
just G again, but its easy to play and sounds perfect with the melody.
The melody riff repeats in spots throughout the song.

Em G A
[Verse 1]
Em G A
You know he's not the one for you But that's no fault of mine
Em G A
He knows that I'm a friend of yours But doesn't know I've crossed the line
Em G A
I know you've got a man in the picture But it hasn't stopped me yet
Em G A
We've all be in one situation or another We regret
[Chorus 1]
Em G A
Now I'm the other man No one's rooting for me
Em G A
If I'm the other man Nature will abhor me
Em G A
[Verse 2]
Em G A
You know I want to keep my distance 'Cause it's happening anyway
Em G A
He knows you're gonna drift apart And there's nothing he can say
Em G A
I know that he's a stand up guy But that's none of my concern
Em G A
We've all been in one situation or another It's my turn
[Chorus 2]
Em G A
To be the other man No one sympathizes
Em G A A
When you're the other man Everyone despises
[Bridge]
C G
He's gonna find out that the rumors are true
C G
Although they are still unbeknownst to you
C G
He'll find out so I'll tell you because
Em A
You gotta find out before he does
[Verse 3]

I know you've got a man in the picture But it hasn't stopped me yet

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

Em G A
When you're the other man Everyone despises
