Be A Man chords by Cody Davis
Guitar chords with lyrics
🎸 Intro:
G F#m C G
🎸 Verse 1:
G
Loadin' my bags in a Chevrolet
F#m C
Teary eyed kids on the porch looking back at me
Like "Daddy why you gotta leave "
G
I rolled down the drive and waved goodbye
F#m
Tried like hell to fake a smile
C
So they won't see the tear rollin' down my cheek
🎸 Pre-Chorus:
G C
I know it's hard on you when you have to watch me leave
G C G
But I'll never let you know that it's also hard on me
🎸 Chorus:
C Gsus2 F#m G
Cuz I won't be there when you fall, or when you score in basketball
C G G
And I can't check for monsters underneath your bed
C G F#m G C
And I can't wipe away the tears, or be there to fight your fears
G G C G G F#m C G
Just hope one day you understand what it takes to be a man
🎸 Verse 2:
G
Seeing those smiles on a FaceTime call
F#m
It looks like your kids have been havin' a ball
C
As far as I can tell, I'm here at the hotel
G
Sister's showing me where she lost her tooth
F#m C
She got five bucks, it's in a piggy bank in her bedroom
It's nice to see all of you
🎸 Pre-Chorus:
G C
I know it's hard on you to say goodbye on a phone screen
G C G
But I'll never let you know that it's also hard on me
🎸 Chorus:
C Gsus2 F#m G
Cuz I won't be there when you fall, or when you score in basketball
C G G
And I can't check for monsters underneath your bed
C G F#m G C
And I can't wipe away the tears, or be there to fight your fears
G G C G G G C G
Just hope one day you understand what it takes to be a man
🎸 Bridge:
C G
Yeah I missed first steps, I missed ball games
F#m G C G
It's the first time you got a straight C, and mama says you didn't shed a tear
C
Just know that I miss you here
🎸 Chorus:
C Gsus2 F#m G
Cuz I won't be there when you fall, or when you score in basketball
C G G
And I can't check for monsters underneath your bed

Just hope one day you understand what it takes to be a man
