Dax - To Be A Man (Lyrics) Chords

[B] I can't hide myself, _ _ _ I [F#] don't expect you to understand _
I [G#m] just hope I can explain, _ what [E] it's like to be a man
It's [B] a lonely road, _ _ and [F#] they don't care about what you know
_ [G#m] It's not about how you feel, but what you [E] provide inside that home
_ [C#m] _ [B] Yeah, I know this life can really beat [F#] you down
_ You wanna scream, but you won't make [G#m] a sound
Got so much weight that you been holding, [E] but won't show any emotion
As a man that goes [C#m] unspoken, [B] that we _ can't cry when life gets [F#] hard
Unconditional love for women, children, and [G#m] dogs
We know that we just have to play our parts
And [E] don't nobody give a damn about our broken hearts
[B] Yeah, as a man we gotta pay for our way
[F#] Our only function is to work and [G#m] slave
There's no respect for you if you ain't paid
[E] You're disregarded as a human and you can't [C#m] complain
[B] And if you ever make it up and actually reach that place
And [F#] find a woman that you love and give her your last name
You'll [G#m] feel the things that you provide is only why she stays
And [E] when you try to explain, you'll say
I [B] can't hide myself, _ _ _ I [F#] don't expect you to understand _
I [G#m] just hope I can explain what [E] it's like to be a man
It's [B] a lonely road, _ _ and [F#] it ain't okay about what you know _
_ [G#m] It's not about how you feel, but what you [E] provide inside that home
[C#m] Don't [B] give up, keep fighting
As a man our son is [F#] our horizon
And our father's actions play a role and [G#m] we end up like him
So they can't let us see them hurt
Cause [E] we'll embody what they do and start a generational curse
[B] No wonder most men are so depressed
All the things that they can't express
They [F#] go to war, get thrown on the shelf
And go back to war with their mental health
Then [G#m] grab that bottle and ask for help
Try to pull themselves out of hell
Then [E] fall back down and then realize
That they gonna have to do with themselves
It's the circle of life as a man you provide
[F#] They watch you work till the day that you die
[E] And that's when they start crying
Then move on to [F#] a man to confide in
[D#m] That's why we feel we [B] can't hide ourselves
We _ [F#] don't expect you to _ understand
[D#m] We [G#m] just hope we can't explain
_ [E] What it's like to be a man
[B] _ It's a lonely road _ _
And [F#] you don't care about what we know
_ [G#m] It's not about how we feel, but what we [E] _ provide inside that home
Inside [B] that _ _ _ _ home
_ [F#] _ _ It's _ _
_ _ [G#m] not about how we feel, but what [E] we provide inside that home
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
