Am C Dadd4 G
Give me one last dance, while I still stand
Am C Dadd4 G
Give me one last chance to build my house upon the sand
Am C Dadd4 Em G
Give me one last hope of holding water in my hands
Am C Dadd4 G
Give me one last chance, and I'll be your man
Am C
Oh, I'll be your man
Dadd4 G
Oh, I'll be your man
Am C
Oh, I'll be your man
Dadd4 G
Oh-oh...

Am C Dadd4 G
Show me one shining star, and I'll show you the sky
Am C Dadd4 G
Bring all your old scars, and I'll kiss them goodbye
Am C Dadd4 Em G
You show me where to start, you show me where to stand
Am C Dadd4 G
Oh, for one last time give me your heart, and I'll be your man
Am C
Oh, I'll be your man
Dadd4 G
Oh, I'll be your man
Am C
Oh, I'll be your man
D
Oh-oh...
(short intersection - intro'ish)
Am C
'Cause I never compromised my whole life
G
now I realize that it's time to make a change
D
or I'll end up feeling strange
Am C Dadd4
In the dying of my days, when that old shallow grave
G
is calling me
Am C
So, I'll be your man
Dadd4 G
So, I'll be your man
Am C
So, I'll be your man
G
Oh-oh...
