_ [D] _ _ _ Oh, _ _
[B] _ [A] _ I'm about a daze, [F#] playing in the waves, I couldn't help but [Em] be _ [Am] happy.
Up to middle school, trying to be cool, [Bm] sure didn't find my [C#m]
[Bm] identity.
[A] _ _ From the first day I picked [E] up my guitar, [D] I never thought that I [E] would come this far.
[A] _ _ Graduation, yes, [E] it came so [D] fast, I never thought [A] it'd pass, [E] yeah.
[A] I can't remember [E] all the steps I took, [D] but all I [E] know is that they let me in to [A] look
_ [E] at them _ [F#m] and [D] smile. _ _ _
[A] Yeah, _ _ if it wasn't for my past [E] _ [A] discretion, [Bm] [B] who is to [F#m] say that I [A] would be the man that
[E] I am _ [D] today?
[G] _ [E] The man I [A] am.
Summer's in quiet, [E] it's the beginning of July, [D] every damn session helped [A] me choose.
_ Grateful for today, [E] and excited for tomorrow, [D] every way helped me [E]
choose.
_ [A] If this couldn't [E] have been just a coincidence, [D] _ that's who I've been [E] to beyond [A] the side of the fence.
I think it had to [C#m] be the choices I made, [D] so that I'd [Am] never [E] fail, yeah.
[A] I can't remember [E] all the steps I [A] took, [D] but all I know is [E] that they let [A] me in to look
_ [E] at them _ [D] and smile. _ _ _
[A] Yeah, _ _ if it wasn't for my past [E] discretion, [D] _ [G] who is to [F#] say that I [A] would be the man [E] that
I am _ [D] _ today?
_ [A] The man I am.

_ [D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
The [F#m] man I am.
_ [E] _ _
[A] _ [Bm] [D] The [A] man [Bm] _ _ [E] _
I am.
[F#m] Every wave that I've caught, helped my train of [Bm] thought.
Every [E] song that I sing helps me see.
[Bm]
Every obstacle [F#m] I face, I never erase.
[D] It led me to the [E] place I want to be.
[A] _ [D] This is the man [A] that I am.
[E] _ [D] This is the man [A] that [E] I want to [A]
be.
_ _ [E] Mom and Dad, I love [Am] you. _
And thanks [F#m] for helping me become the [Em] man I [A] am.
[E] The man I am.
_ [F#m] Oh, _ _ _ _ the [A] man I _
_ _ _ [E] am.
[Am] Yeah.
[D] _
A song dedicated to [A] you.
The man I am.
_ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ [D] _
_ Happy to [E] be the [F#] man I am. _
