Just Being A Man- Jesse MacLeod, Ari Herstand & Pamela Pruett - Key of G

Intro Chords: G FG FG F C (2x)

G Cadd9
I can get caught up in whatever I'm doing
G D
Yeah I know I can get a little carried away
Em7 Cadd9
Time is money, I sure ain't a rich man, baby
G D
We all gotta make our living at the end of the day

G Cadd9
I found out who I was when I got older
G D
Now I'm trying to make a name in this crazy town
Em7 Cadd9
If I've made you feel like you're unwanted
G D
I'm gonna do what I gotta do to turn this around


C G
Ooh baby, you know how much I love you
C G
I know I can be a little hard to understand
C Em7
Believe me darlin’ I put no one else above you
Am7 C D
Ain't making excuses baby I'm just
G FG FG F C
being a man


G Cadd9
Sometimes the grass looks a little bit greener
G D
Other times I just want to make a woman smile
Em7 Cadd9
I might flirt just to see if I still got it
G D
Ain't no way I'm ever gonna cross that line

C G
Ooh baby, you know how much I love you
C G
I know I can be a little hard to understand
C Em7
Believe me darlin’ I put no one else above you
Am7 C D
Ain't making excuses baby I'm just
G FG
being a man

Em7 D/F# Cadd9
Sometimes I can be hard to crack
Em7 D/F# Cadd9
Lord knows I'm far from a perfect man
Am7 G/B C
But don't go walking out on me just yet
F C
Just stick it out we’re just getting started


C G
Ooh baby, you know how much I love you
C G
I know I can be a little hard to understand
C Em7
Believe me darlin’ I put no one else above you
Am7 C D
Ain't making excuses baby I'm just
G FG FG F C
being a man
