Capo on 4th fret.
G
I ain't too good at choppin’ wood, But my daddy said I should.
Emin G
I need a woman with a nice strong back, Child-bearin’ hips and a one room shack.
C G
I'm a hard, hard worker every day; Dirty hands and a little pay. I get up early and I get back late.
G
I ain't too good at matching clothes, wearing heels and panty hose.
Emin G
I need a man that's sensitive; Stoic and contemplative.
C G
A scholar and a gentleman. A caller with strong arms to hold me in.
Emin C G
So what if we're not everything
Emin C G
our mothers and our fathers expect us to be.
Amin C G
Could I be the one who's in your dreams,
Amin C G
Could I be the one who you redeem?
G
I've gotten good at acting sweet, but it's hard to admit defeat.
Emin G
I'm prim and proper and put together. I'm sick and sore, under the weather.
C G
Got friends in places high and low, learned things I didn't want to know, been lifted up just to be let go.
G
I'm getting good at actin’ tough, but I haven't gotten good enough.
Emin G
I want to be on the silver screen, I'm a kind-hearted man that's often mean.
C G
I'm a lover and a fighter; I'm a worker and a writer; I am a dreamer woken up by fits of rage.
G
Been trying hard to understand what it means to be a man,
Emin G
And every time I fall in love, I hug and kiss then push and shove.
C G
I'm solid then I'm soft and then, I'm gone and then I'm back again. I am a saint but my heart's filled with sin.
