Man Down chords by Rihanna

Intro: Em

              Am
I didn't mean to end his life

I know it wasn't right
            Em
I cant even sleep at night

Cant get it off my mind
            Am
I need to get out of sight
                                          Em
Before I end up behind bars

                        Am
What started out as a simple altercation
               Em
Turned into a real sticky situation
               F
Me just thinking on the time that im facing
                                  G
Makes me wanna cry

Bridging: Am
                                          Em
Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
                                               Am
Coulda been somebodies son
                          Em
And I took his heart when
Am
I pulled out that gun

I Call her peggy sue
                         Em
When she fits right down in my shoes

What do you expect me to do
                Am
If you're playing me for a fool

I will lose my cool
                          G
And reach for my fire arm
                             Am
I didn't mean to lay him down
                               Em
But its too late to turn back now
           F

Now hes no longer living
      G
So imma bout to leave town

                                        Em
Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
                                               Am
Coulda been somebodies son
                          Em
And I took his heart when
Am
I pulled out that gun
