  G               Fadd9
  You talk about crazy affairs
  Dm                     C                 G     D C | G   D C |
  You talk about your life as though it mattered
  G                          Fadd9      
  You get attention 'cos you block the stairs
  Dm                  C                Fadd9
  Bragging about some bottles you have shattered
  
        C                  G/B
  Well, I met a man who really lives
  C                 Em
  He really does it all
  C                              G/B
  But what really matters is the heart he gives
  C                       D     Dsus4     D
  He makes your talk seem small
  
         C        G   D
  When a man is a man
             C        Em     D  C
  He doesn't act to a plan
            G                        D/F#                    Fadd9
  He don't have to perform like John Wayne in some B-feature flick
    C        G     D
  A man is a man
              C         Em    D  C
  When he can offer his hand
        G                   D/F#                     Fadd9
  Not afraid of appearing insane if he can't break a brick
                       G     D  C   |  G    D  C [intro pattern]
  I know a man who's a man
  
  Can't you sometimes crack a smile
  Do you think if you did, we would run and tell
  I know one day your big villian style
  Will collapse as they turn the key in the door of your cell
  
  I know a man who was once like you
  But he opened his heart
  No one is really bad right through
  He's just another part
  
  When a man is a man
  And he drinks 'til he's canned
  He can drop to the floor, he can weep, we won't ask the price
  A man is a man
  He can fall, he can stand
  We won't love him more if he keeps his soul on the ice
  I know a man who's a man
  
  E                    D
    Every one of us is looking for fame
         A
  He's a looker
  He's a dresser
  He's a genius under pressure
  E                        D
    I know a man who could tighten your rein
         A
  He's a father
  He's a brother
         D
  He's a rocker
  He's a lover
  
  He's a man, he's a man
  He doesn't act to a plan
  He don't have to get hitched to a train in some muscle beach trick
  A man is a man
  When he can offer his hand
  Not afraid of apprearing insane if he can't break a brick
       C           G
  Be a man who's a man
