[INTRO]
E
D
E
G Dmaj7
[VERSE 1]
E D
Like the brutal morning sun
E Dmaj7
It dawns on me, what have I done?
E D
Saying sorry ain't as good as saying why
E Dmaj7
But it buys me a little more time
[PRE-CHORUS]
G A
Lost in the moment for the second time
G A
Each fucking atom in him makes him cry
G A
I'm just pathetic, that's the reason why
G A
In desperation all that you can do
B
Is ask me why

[CHORUS]
E G Dmaj7
Cause I'm a man, woman
E D Dmaj7
Don't always think before I do
E G Dmaj7
Cause I'm a man, woman
E D
It's the only answer I got for you
E G Dmaj7
Cause I'm a man, woman
E D Dmaj7
Not often proud of what I choose
E G Dmaj7
I'm a human, woman
E D
A greater force I answer to
[VERSE 2]
E D
Once again as it takes a hold
E Dmaj7
I am aware, not in control, see
E D
I had a conscience and it's never fooled
E Dmaj7
but it's prone to be overruled
[PRE-CHORUS]
G A
You wanna know what I always think I'm 'bout, but
G A
You never accept defeat and let it slide (why?), but
G A
I have no voice if I don't speak my mind (why?)
G A
My weakness is the source of all my pride
B
I'll tell you why
[CHORUS]
E G Dmaj7
Cause I'm a man, woman
E D Dmaj7
Don't always think before I do
E G Dmaj7
Cause I'm a man, woman
E D
It's the only answer I got for you
E G Dmaj7
Cause I'm a man, woman
E D Dmaj7
I'll never be as strong as you
E G Dmaj7
I'm a human, human
E D
A greater force I answer to
