[Verse 1]
E
There's a man in me, he's cold and he's hard
He's got an eye for deception, he's always on guard
D A
He's swimming in concrete, drowning in fear
E
And he keeps it all locked in his heart
[Verse 2]
E
This man is a tyrant, a fault finding hack
You can't tell him nothing, there's no turning back

He crawls from the wreckage but he still doesn't see
D A E
He's alive, the man is jive
[Verse 3]
E
There's a man in the mirror, I don't like his looks
His teeth they are crooked, his hands are like hooks

He speaks four letter language because his mind is so small

His voice is like venom, I don't like him at all

God, I gotta get away from the man in me

Pretty flowers surround you but all you can smell is a rat

There's a man in the closet, he wants to come out

The keys to his fortune stay locked up inside

Can it be, the man in me?

In your heart you can hear me but all you believe are your eyes

Tell me why you're convinced that a fist in your face

Is all you deserve from love you've misplaced

The truth is salvation but all you believe in are lies
D A E
The man in me wants to believe, but he won't even try
[Verse 5]
E
There's man in me and he's so full of hate
He's so misdirected, he thinks it's too late
D A
He pours salt on the wounds only time wants to heal

C#m C E
Anything, the man is strange
