INTRO:  Eb/Db (Bb . Ab . G)     Cm9 (D-Eb-G)   (3 times)

	 			 Cm9/F   Eb/Ab

    Eb/C   Bb/C       Eb/C     Bb/C

When I was a child  I thought as a child

  Eb/C     Bb/C   Eb/C

I spoke as a child

          Eb/Db  Ab/Db (x2) ---  Eb/Ab  Ab 

I didn't know better             (better)

    Eb/C   Bb/C       Eb/C     Bb/C

But now I'm a man    I look like a man

    Eb/C    Bb/C

I'm old as a man

   Eb/Db         Eb/Db Ab/Db (x2) --- Eb/Ab  Ab

And I should know better ......   (better)

   Bb6sus (Ab-Eb-F-G-Bb)  Bb6+7 (Ab-D-F-G-Bb)

Got my head            in the sky

      Bb6sus                 Bb6+7

And my mind knows what it wants

                      Bb/Eb

But my body just drags me down


      Eb7sus (Db-Eb-Ab-Bb)    Eb7

And my world is something you can't see

     Eb7sus (Db-Eb-Ab-Bb)    Eb7

But it's still very real to me

       G7 +9             F/G (?)         G

You can find it in the hole where I keep my soul

(A - G - F)  No Chord  G-A       G-A  

There it is - way down inside me

  G-A     Bb    C               G/A  Am7

There's a real man   ....    a real man
 
                             G/C    C            G/A  C/A

Forget about my body and be a real man    ....  (real man)



I see with my heart
I hear with my heart
I feel with my heart
Sometimes it works better
And some so-called friends put me down
And they pity me for trying
Bad emotions push me around
But the vision shines on and on
It will shine when we all are gone
And I'd like to add a little sparkle while I'm here
Light it up - way down inside me
There's a real man
Forget about bad feelings and be a real man


    Eb/C   Bb/C          Eb/C     Bb/G

Some men's world is only hate and money

    C/A     G/A             C/A    G/E

Afraid of everything and they laugh at nothing

      C/Bb Dm/Bb  C/Bb Dm/Bb C/Bb Dm/Bb  Am7      Bb9

And they on-ly    live-to      cri-ti-cize ........ize!

  Bb6sus (Ab-Eb-F-G-Bb)  Bb6+7 (Ab-D-F-G-Bb)

You can  laugh         at me now 

  Bb6sus                Bb6+7

But the time comes to everybody

               Bb/Eb

When you must decide

     Eb7sus (Db-Eb-Ab-Bb)    Eb7

When that day finally comes along

     Eb7sus (Db-Eb-Ab-Bb)             Eb7

You might wish you'd been a little more strong

         G7 +9

Then you'll wake up in the morning cryin'
        "Oh my God"
There it is - way down inside me

        Bb   C

It's a real man

G/A   Am7

....... You got to grow up sometime

     G/C   C

Be a real man
Suffer them slings and arrows
Be a real man
Now be a real man
Don't sell yourself for nothing
Be a real man
Don't take no crap from no one
Be a real man
Get your trip together
Be a real man
