[D]In a workin' man's dream [Am]I found my simple truth
[C]There in the dark and o[G]n top of my roof
[D]As the city's blue sound [Am]swept up from down under
[C]Heat lightning flashed and it [G]got me to wonder
[D]Are the troubles that life [Am]has seen fit to give me
[C]There to regret or [G]there to remind me
[D]I'm a real[Am][C][G]
[D]I'm a real man[Am][C][G]
[D]For so many years I [Am]believed I was broken
[C]The medicine sweet and [G]the leaves I was smokin'
[D]Told me I was strong [Am]righteous and firm
[C]But only if I comply and [G]stay in the terms
[D]With the deal made bet[Am]ween weakness and shame
[C]To shelter me from the [G]price of my pain
Chorus
And I'll [F]do everything a man [C]possible can to make a [D]difference
I'll[F] save my s[C]oul if you give me the [A]chance
[C]I'll rectify my dreams if [D]you let me see my way c[Am]lear[C][G]
Repeat 4x
[D]As I thank my higher power [Am]for all that she'd done
[C]I sing to the water towers [G]and to the rising sun
[D]For every woman or car crash t[Am]hat ever broke me in two
[C]For showing me that the[G]re's alwasy a way through
Chorus
