What Makes A Man Chords by Marc Almond

_ _ [G] _ I'd like to sing this song for all those who dare to be different
All _ _ _ _ those who have the conviction to be different
in the face of adversity
There's a lot of it around as well
[C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [Em] My mom and I we live alone a great apartment is our home
in [Am] their own towers _
I had to keep me company [B] two cats a dog a _ _ parakeet
some [Em] plants and flowers
_ _ _ I had my mother do the chores.
I wash she dries I do the floors
We [Am] work together
_ _ I shop and cook and [F#] sell a bit though [F#m] mom does too I must [C] admit
I [B] do it _ _ _ better
[E] _ _ [Em] And night I work in a strange bar in personicting every star I'm quite [Am] _ deceiving
_ The customers come [A] in with doubt [Am] and wonder what I'm [A] all [B] about
But leave [Am] _ [Em] believing
_ _ I do a very special show where I am nude from head to toe
_ after [Am] stripteasing
_ _ Each night the men look so [F#m] surprised I change my [F#] sex before their [C] eyes
Tell me if you can
_ What [A#] makes a man?
[B] _ _ [C] _ _ A man
At _ [Em] three o'clock or so I meet with friends to have a bite to eat and
_ [Am] Conversation
_ _ We love to empty out our hearts on every subject [B] from the arts to _ [Em] _ Liberation
_ We love to pull apart someone
Spread some gossip just for fun
or start a [Am] rumor _ _
We let our hair down [A] so to [F#m] speak mark ourselves with [C] tongue-in-cheek and [B] inside _ _ _
So _ [E] _ [Em] many times we have to pay for having fun and being gay _
It's not [Am] amusing
_ _ There's always those who spoil our games by finding fault and calling [B] _
names always [Am] _ [Em] accusing _ _
They draw attention to themselves at the expense of someone else
_ It's so [Am] _ confusing _
Yet they make fun [A] of how I [F#m] walk and imitate the way I [G#] [C] talk
Tell me if you can _
What makes [A#m] a man?
[B] _ _ _ [C] _
My _ _ [Em] _ masquerade comes to an end when I go home to bed again _ _
alone [Am] and friend _ I
Shut my eyes.
I think of him.
I fantasize [B] what might have been
My [Em] dreams are endless _
_ We love each other, but it seems the love lives only in my dreams
_ It's so [Am] one-sided
_ But in this life I must [F#m] confess the search for love and [C] happiness
Is _ [B] _ _ unrequited
_ _ [Em] _ I asked myself what have I got and what I am and what I'm not
What am [A] I doing?
_ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
I
Know my life is not a crime.
I'm just a victim of my time.
_ I stand
[Am] _ _ defenseless
_ Nobody has [A] the right to [F#m] be [F#] the judge of what is right [C] for me
_ _ [Cm] Tell me if you can
_ [C] What makes a man?
_ [A#m] _ [B] Oh
_ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Em] What _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [Am] _ makes [B] a man _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
