  			Intro on D  

A                      C              D 
You came 'round today, you never even knocked on my door 

A                      C              D 
Your note tried to say that you don't love me no more 


E                            A               C 
I want you by my side 'cause I wanna be your man 

E                            A               C 
I'm burning up inside 'cause I wanna be your man 


A                 C                  D    
I had to be told, from people that I meet in the street 

A                      C                   D 
They are turning cold, without you I would not be complete 


E                      A                     C 
I want you by my side 'cause I wanna be your man 
  
E                      A                     C 
I'm burning up inside 'cause I wanna be your man 


D                         C     C Bm A 
Why did you write me in a letter 

                              E 
A word from you would be much better 


E                      A                     C                  
I want you by my side 'cause I wanna be your man 

E                      A                     C 
I'm burning up inside 'cause I wanna be your man 


D                         C     C Bm A 
Why did you write me in a letter 

                              E 
A word from you would be much better 


A                    C                   D    
Don't cast me aside, without you I would never survive 

A                   C                     D    
Why did you decide, to kill the love that keeps me alive 


E                      A                     C 
I want you by my side 'cause I wanna be your man 

E                      A                     C 
I'm burning up inside 'cause I wanna be your man
