  			Intro (Lalalala): G Am D C G 
 
G                     Am 
The man in me will do nearly any task, 
    D                            C               G 
And as for compensation, there's little he would ask. 
G 
Take a woman like you 
       Am                    G 
To get through to the man in me. 
G                       Am 
Storm clouds are raging all around my door, 
D                             C          G 
I think to myself I might not take it any more. 
G 
Take a woman like your kind 
 Am                   G 
To find the man in me. 
 
 
     Am                    G 
But, oh, what a wonderful feeling 
 Am                       G 
Just to know that you are near, 
    Am             G 
Sets my a heart a-reeling 
        Am            D 
From my toes up to my ears. 
 
 
   G                                 Am 
The man in me will hide sometimes to keep from bein' seen, 
           D                               C              G 
But that's just because he doesn't want to turn into some machine. 
       G 
Took a woman like you 
         Am                  G 
To get through to the man in me.
