[G]
Well all of us in that state, head rockin' bottom
The songs they sang, well we forgot em
You could hear them playin' with shakin' hands
Tossin' up with rubber bands
[C] Singin' do you want a man to steal
[Fm] [C] Or [G] do you want a man that's real
[D] They used to play in the ports and [C] kings
Now they're only made of [G] steel when the [C] odds [G] still stand
Used to be on every schoolgirl's wall
[C] [G] And they never dropped a beat at all
[C] [G] They can make you sore, they can make you hot
Once they got spotted they could [C] never [G] stop
[F] Singin' do you [C] want a man to steal
[Fm] [C]
[G] Or do you want a man that's real
Some
[D] of them hide when the doorbell [C] rings
They're only made of [G] steel when the [C] odds [G] still stand
Blame
[C] the man, odds still stand
[Bb] Blame [G] the man, odds still stand
Blame
[Cm] the [Bb] man, odds still stand

You expect me to make this Superman
The best they do is the best they can
The manager's doin' time in jail
Big cat like he's up for sale
[C] Singin' do you want a man to steal
[F] Or [C]
[G] do you want a man that's real
[D] Try their hands at a thousand things
[C] They're only made of steel when the odds [G] still stand
Blame the man, odds still stand
Blame the man, odds still stand
Blame the man, odds still stand
Blame the man, odds still stand
