If I Were the Man You Wanted Lyle Lovett
[Verse 1]
They [D]all sat a[G]round in a [D]circle
They were laughing and all [G]telling lies[A]
Then the [G]tall one he [A]bumped in a [G]dollar[A]
He said [D]boys I've got [A]nothing to [D]hide[A]
Now if the [D]King and the [G]Queen stood to[D]gether[A]
Then the [D]ace he would [G]not be to [A]blame
And if the [G]cards were all [A]laid on the [D]table[G]
Then [D]love could be [A]more than a [D]game
[Cborus]
And if the [G]stars didn't [A]shine on the [D]water
Then the sun wouldn't [C]burn on the [G]sand
And if [D]I were the [G]man you [D]wanted[G]
I would [D]not be the [A]man that I [D]am
[Verse 2]
And [D]I have seen [G]my share of [D]long nights[G]
And [D]I have told [G]my share of [D]lies[A]
And [G]I have run [A]into the [D]darkness[G]
When [D]I saw the [A]look in your [D]eyes[G]
But if the [D]night didn't [G]lie in the [D]darkness[G]
Then the [D]daylight would [G]be hard to [A]find
And if the [G]truth didn't [A]turn to a [D]weakness[G]
I would have [D]never have [A]spoken my [D]mind
[Cborus]
And if the [G]stars didn't [A]shine on the [D]water
Then the sun wouldn't [C]burn on the [G]sand
And if [D]I were the [G]man you [D]wanted[G]
I would [D]not be the [A]man that I [D]am
[Verse 3]
So if you're [D]going out [G]to Caro[D]lina[G]
Then don't [D]linger in [G]New Mexi[A]co
And if you [G]think of the [A]one there be[D]hind you[G]
Then you [D]might not [A]feel so a[D]lone
[Cborus]
And if the [G]stars didn't [A]shine on the [D]water
Then the sun wouldn't [C]burn on the [G]sand
And if [D]I were the [G]man you [D]wanted[G]
I would [D]not be the [A]man that I [D]am
And if [D]I were the [G]man you [D]wanted[G]
I would [D]not be the [A]man that I [D]am
