(A5)You can have Man hat tan;

I know it’s for the (Amaj7)best.

I’ll (A5)gath er up the (Amaj9)av e nues and leave them on your (Dsus2)door step.

And I’ll tip toe a (Dsus2)way

so you won’t have to (Asus)say

(A5)You can have Man hat tan;

I (F#m7)know it’s what you want:

the (A5)bus tle and the build ings, and drunk the weath er in the (Dsus2)fall.

And I’ll bow out of (Asus2)place er ie; to (Bm7)save could you do you some (Asus)space

for some bod y (Amaj7)new.

(B7)to.

(D6)You can have Man hat tan,

’cause I can’t have (A)you.

(Amaj9)Ah.

(A5)You can have Man hat tan,

the (F#m7)one we used to share,

the (A5)one where we were laugh ing and drunk the on just be ing (Dsus2)there.

And Hang on to the (Asus2)place er ie; to (Bm7)save could you do that for (Asus)me?

’Cause I’m just too (Amaj7)sad

(B7)to.

(D6)You can have Man hat tan,

’cause I can’t have (A)you.

(Amaj9)Ah.

And so

And

I know

that (D)hold ing us in (Dmaj9)place is sim ply (Dm)fear

of what’s al read y changed.

(Amaj9)Ah.

(A5)You can have Man hat tan;

I’ll set tle for the (A)beach,

and (A5)sun sets fac ing west ward with sand be neath my (F)feet.

I’ll wish this a (A)way,

this mis sing the days

when (F#m)I was one (C#)half of two.

(D6)You can have Man hat tan,

’cause I can’t have (A5)you.
