If you want a lover I'll do anything you ask me to.

N.C.           | Em                            | D
And if you want another kind of love I'll wear a mask for you.

    Here I stand - I'm your man.

If you want a boxer I will step into the ring for you.

N.C.            | Em                       | D
And if you want a doctor, I'll examine every inch of you.

N.C.        | Bm            | %                    | G
If you want a driver, climb inside or if you want to take me for a ride,

You know you can  -  I'm your man.

A  x02220


      | D                    | G
Ah, the moon's too bright, the chain's too tight,

  | A               | D
The beast won't go to sleep.

        | F#m                 | %
I've been running through these promises to you

     | Bm                 | %
That I made and I could not keep.

        | F#m           | %
Ah, but a man never got a women back,

     | Bm           | %
Not by begging on his knees.

     | G                         | F#m
Or I'd crawl to you, baby, and I'd fall at your feet,

      | G                        | F#m
and I'd howl at your beauty like a dog in heat.

      | G                        | E
And I'd claw at your heart and I'd tear at your sheet.

       | A               | Bm
I'd say, please - I'm your man.

N.C.               | Em                      | D
And if you've got to sleep for a moment on the road, I will steer for you.

N.C.             | Em                             | D
And if you want to walk the street alone, I'll disappear for you.


N.C.        | Bm            | %                    | G
If you want a father for your child, or only want to walk with me

                | A             | Bm   
Awhile across the sand - I'm your man
