Tuning: Standard

Chorus:

     G+G
I can't hide myself
      D MajorD
I don't expect you to understand
    E minorEm
I just hope I can explain
      C majorC
What it's like to be a man


    G+G
It's a lonely road
        D MajorD
And they don't care about

what you know
   E minorEm
It's not 'bout how you feel
         C majorC
But what you provide

inside that home

Verse :

  G+G
Yeah, I know this life can
         D MajorD
really beat you down, uh

You wanna scream but you won't
    E minorEm
make a sound, uh

Got so much weight that

you've been holdin'
      C majorC
But won't show any emotion,

as a man, that goes unspoken

    G+G
That we can't cry when life gets hard
  D MajorD
Unconditional love for women,

children and dogs
E minorEm
We know that we just have to

 our parts
       C majorC
And don't nobody give a dang about

our broken hearts, yeah

G+G
 As a man, we gotta pave our way
 D MajorD
Our only function is to work and slave
 E minorEm
There's no respect for you if

you ain't paid
       C majorC
You're disregarded as a human and

 you can't complain

      G+G
And if you ever make it up and

actually reach that place
      D MajorD
And find a woman that you love and

give her your last name
         E minorEm
You'll feel the things that

You provide is only why she stays
       C majorC
And when you try to explain, you'll say

Chorus:

     G+G
I can't hide myself
      D MajorD
I don't expect you to understand
    E minorEm
I just hope I can explain
      C majorC
What it's like to be a man

(What it's like to be a man)

    G+G
It's a lonely road

(It's a lonely road)
        D MajorD
And they don't care

'bout what you know

(Care 'bout what you know)
   E minorEm
It's not 'bout how you feel
         C majorC
But what you provide inside that home



Verse :
      G+G
Don't give up, keep fightin'
              D MajorD
As a man, our son is our horizon

And our fathers' actions play a role and
      E minorEm
we end up like him

So they can't let us see them hurt
         C majorC
'Cause they'll embody what we do and

start a generational curse

      G+G
No wonder most men are so depressed

All the things that they can't express
      D MajorD
They go to war, get thrown on the shelf

Then go back to war with

mental health
        E minorEm
Then grab that bottle and ask for help

Try to pull themselves out of heck
        C majorC
Then fall back down and then realize

That they gon' have to do it themselves


Break:

     C majorC
It's the circle of life, as a man,

 you provide
      D MajorD
They don't know what you're worth

til the day that you die
      C majorC
And that's when they start cryin'
          D MajorD
Then move on to a man to confide in

That's why we feel


Chorus:
     G+G
We can't hide ourselves
      D MajorD
We don't expect you to understand
     E minorEm
We just hope we can explain
      C majorC
What it's like to be a man

(What it's like to be a man)

    G+G
It's a lonely road

(It's a lonely road)
        D MajorD
And you don't care

bout what we know

(Care 'bout what we know)
   E minorEm
It's not 'bout how we feel
        C majorC
But what we provide inside that home
       G+G
(Inside that home)
   D MajorD
That home


Outro:

   E minorEm
It's not 'bout how we feel
        C majorC
But what we provide inside that home
