[D] If [G] you really want to be [Em] my friend, [C] let me live it up like I used [D] to.
[G] [D] [G] If you really want to [E] understand me, [C] there's some giving up we've got [G] to do.
[D] I know [G]
everybody wants to [Em] be your man.
I [C] don't want to tie you up for a [D] head spray.
[G] And I never want to store you [Em] in my [E] brain.
[C] We can live it up, just [G] you and me.
[D] [G] If you really want to [Em] understand me, [C] let him off the knee sometime.
Set [G] him free.
[Am] [G] If you really, really want [E] to be my friend, [C] give me the look of love, not [G] jealousy.
[D] [C]
I know you think [G] life is a thriller.
[C]
You better better, [G] I bet it's [D] killer.
[Am]
Now if it wasn't [G] so spicy, [D] [Am]
I'd be the last to be aware.
[C] Fire, fire, [G]
fire.
[Em] [C]
[D] If [G]
you really want to be [E] my man, [C]
get your nails out on the wax [G] you've been made.
[D] [G] You know, [Em] be your man, [C]
with just a little faith, [G] I'll [D] believe you.
I [G] don't want no dirty, dark world for [E] you and me.
Get [C] your nails out, stop [G] them dripping, baby.
[D] [C]
People tell me [G] you are a [D] vulture.
[C]
Say you're a sore little [D] fancy car trowel.
[Am]
Now, don't you got a little [G] charm around you?
[D] [Am]
[C] I'm trying to help you.

[F] [E] [Am] [Em] [D] you [G] can [D] be my man.
[G] I have [Em] a little heart for you.

[G] [D] [G] If you really want to be my [E] friend,
[C]
if you [G] really [D] [G] want to [Em] understand me,
[C]
[G] [D] [G] I really want to be your [E] man.
I want to try to give you a helping hand.
[C] If [G] you [D] [G] really want it, [Em] I'll give it from your grave.
I'll [C] push you when you're up, and pull you when [D] you're down.
[G] If you really want it, I'll do the [Em] best thing.
[E] I'll tell you [C] something.
When love gets right on [G] jealousy,
why, Lord, why, Lord,
do I really want to [Em] understand you?
If you really want to be [C] my friend,
you [G] [D] can be my man.
[G] I really want to be [Em] your man.
[E] [C] I just need something that [G] everybody [D] needs.
