If I Were The Man You Wanted Chords by Lyle Lovett

[N] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
[F] They all sat around in a circle
_ [Bb] _ They [F] were laughing [Bb] and all telling [C] _
lies
_ [Bb] Then the tall [C] one he bumped [F] in a dollar
[Bb] _ He [F] said boys I [C] got nothing [F] to hide
_ _ Now if the king and the [Bb] queen [F] stood together _
[Bb] _ _ [F] Then the [Bb] ace he would not be [C] to blame
_ Then [Bb] if the cards [C] were all laid [F] on the table
[Bb] _ _ [F] Then love could [Bb] be more [F] than a game
_ Then [Bb] if the stars [C] didn't shine [F] on the water _
_ Then the sun it [Eb] wouldn't burn on [Bb] the sand
_ Then [F] if I were the [Bb] man she [F] wanted _
[Bb] _ I [Cm] would not be the man [F] that I am
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[F] I have [Bb] seen my [F] share of long [Bb] nights _
[F] And I have [Bb] told my share [C] of lies _ _
[Bb] And I have [C] run into [F] the darkness
[Bb] _ _
[F] When I saw [C] the look in [F] your eyes
_ But if the night it [Bb] didn't lie in the [F] darkness
_ [Bb] _ Then [F] the daylight [Bb] would be hard to [C] _ find
_ [Bb] And if the truth didn't [C] turn to [F] _ weakness
[Bb] _ I [F] would never have spoken my mind
_ _ And if [Bb] the stars [C] didn't shine on [F] the water
_ _ Then the sun it [Eb] wouldn't burn on [Bb] the sand
_ And [F] if I were the man you wanted
_ [Bb] _ [C] I would not be the man [F] that I am
_ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
So if [Bb] you're going out [C] to _
_ [F] California
_ Then don't linger in [Eb] New Mexico
[Bb] _ _ _ _
[F] And if you think of the one _ there behind [Bb] you _ _
[F] Then you might not feel so alone
And [Bb] if the stars [C] didn't shine on [F] the water _ _
Then the sun [Eb] it wouldn't burn [Bb] on the sand _ _
And if [F] I were the [Bb] man you [F] wanted
_ _ [Bb] I [F] would not be [C] the man [F] that I am
[Bb] _ _ [F]
Lord, if I were [Gm] the man [F] you wanted
[Bb] _ I would [C] not be the man that I am _ _ _
