(Intro) A / D
Girl, I've got a little message for you
I want you to take heed
Listen it says a
(1st Verse) A / D
Men, they don't cry to dry their eyes,
or to make a teardrop, oh no
and I am not weeping, to keep from sleeping,
Girl, I wish you could stop
[Bm]I was your man, [Bm7]a mountain of pride
[A]You came along to change me inside
[Bm]This heart of mine, [Bm7]ain't no windup toy
[E]But I am still hanging' around for you to enjoy
(Chorus)
[A]I can't take it like a man,
[Ab]I can't take it like a man,
[G]I am heading' nowhere, [F#]just as fast as I can.
[B]I can't take it like a man,
[G]I can't make it like a man,
[E]I need your lovin' [E]in the [D]palm [C#]of [B]my [Bm]h a n d. [E]
(Repeat progression for second verse and chorus!!)
Hearts don't break, to take the ache
that they're going through, oh no
If you're mistaken, my hearts breaking
because I love you
Oh love, if you care,
won't you please hurry back,
Keep me on the right track,
Throw me some rope, don't let me drown,
Please have a heart; this is my third time down,
(Chorus X 3/ Fade Out)
I can't take like a man etc.
Please feel free to correct any mistakes!!! Thanks!!
