[Verse 1]
E A E
I'm no hero, I'm no saint,
F#7 B7
but in her eyes no man has ever stood so calm and straight.
E A E
And I've alway wondered, what a women does,
A E B7 E
when she finaly sees her man is not the man she thought he was.
[Chorus]
A E A E
I never was the man I used to be,
F#7 B7
her loving eyes could only see what she wanted them to see.
E A E
She saw a knight in shining armor, but Lord, he wasn't me,
A E B7 E
I never was the man I used to be.
[Interlude]
A E B7 E A E
[Verse 2]
E A E
Now she tells me, I've really changed,
F#7 B7
and the disappointing mine on her face, almost makes me ashamed.
E A E
I've tryed to tell her, I'm still just me,
A E B7 E
and I never was the man she thinks I used to be.
[Chorus]
A E A E
I never was the man I used to be,
F#7 B7
her loving eyes could only see what she wanted them to see.
E A E
She saw a knight in shining armor, but Lord, he wasn't me,
A E B7 E
I never was the man I used to be.
E A E
She saw a knight in shining armor, oh Lord, he wasn't me,
A E B7 E
I never was the man I used to be.
