He says, he's a lover man now, oh that's all I [Em] smell, girl that's all I am.
[C] That invisible knife you cut me clean in two, [G] I was shocked when [C] you, when you [F] said that we were through, what did [C] I do wrong baby, yeah.
I can feel my heart coming down and more, guess I cut the duct off the [G] wall you left [Em] me, in the [F] shadows of yesterday, of a [C] man that used to be.
Oh, now I'm not, now I'm not, now I'm not what they said, he's a lover man now, removed from reality, [G] steps dipped in my [Em] sanity.
[C] I was knocked right down, how the cold heart look you up, just [G] like a broken [Em] glass, scattered [F] all over the [A] floor, could be [C] useful no more, say it again, y'all.
We made such beautiful future plans, faithful we did with the ugly hand and crushed [E] still, [F] oh and there I stood, [C] strong for my manhood.
Now, now I'm not, now I'm not, now I'm [F] not what they said,

[C] He's a lover man now, got to do the way it's like done, don't want [G] to be leaving [E] now, I don't [F] want you to save me now, I [C] have no one to trust baby.
And the case I'm under was one lost heart, I'm left without a heart, the one who worshiped [Em] me, oh [F] destroyed me, oh [C] how could that be baby, baby, baby.
I'm not what they said, he's a lover man now, removed from [Em] reality, steps dipped in my sanity.
I'm [C] not what they said, he's a lover man now, don't want to be leaving now, don't [G] want you to save me now, I'm not what they said, he's a lover man now.
