Lyrics

If you want a (Em)lo ver, I’ll do an y thing you (D)ask me to.

(CN.C.)And if you want an (Em)oth er kind of love,

I’ll wear a (D)mask for you.

If you want a (Bm)part ner, take my hand, or if you want to (G)strike me down in an ger,

here I stand.

I’m your (Bm)man.

If you want a (E)bo xer, I will step in to the (D)ring for you.

(CN.C.)And if you want a (E)doc tor, I’ll ex am ine ev ’ry (D)inch of you.

If you want a (Bm)dri ver, climb in side.

Or if you want to (G)take me for a ride,

(Bm)you (A)know you can.

I’m your (Bm)man.

Ah, the (D)moon’s too bright, the (G)chain’s too tight, the (A)beast won’t go to sleep.

I’ve been (F#m)run ning through these pro mi ses to you that I (Bm)made and I could not keep.
