[Verse 1]
C Em
I didn't want to hurt myself
D
I didn't want to hurt anyone else
C Em
I just wanted the love of a man
C G
And that's where my trouble began
C Em
I didn't want to be in pain
G D
I didn't want to throw it away
C Em
I didn't want to feel so insane
G D
I didn't want things to end up this way
[Chorus]
C Em
I just wanted him to hold my hand
G D
I just wanted to be in his plans
C Em
I just wanted him to understand
C G
I just wanted the love of a man
C G
I just wanted the love of a man
[Verse 2]
C Em
I didn't think it all through
G D
I just wanted to feel close to you
C Em
I was so numb to the core
G D
I just wanted to open the door
C Em
I didn't mean to give so much away
G D
I didn't want to feel this shame
C Em
I didn't want to be in this place
G D
I didn't want things to end up this way
[Chorus]
C Em
I just wanted him to hold my hand
G D
I just wanted to be in his plans
C Em
I just wanted him to understand
C G
I just wanted the love of a man
C G
I just wanted the love of a man
[Bridge]
C D
I just wanted to feel something
C D
I didn't want it to burn or sting
I thought I could drink from this cup
C
But the poison is tearing me up
Em D
It's tearing me up
[Chorus]
C Em
I just wanted him to hold my hand
G D
I just wanted to be in his plans
C Em
I just wanted him to understand
C G
I just wanted the love of a man
C G
I just wanted the love of a man
C Em
I didn't want to hate myself
G D
I didn't want to hate anyone else
C Em
I didn't want to throw so much away
C G
I just wanted the love of a man
C G
I just wanted the love of a man
