On the 2nd to the last line, play barre chords to get the walk down
E A
If I were an astronaut, I'd bring you back a moon rock
E B
You could put it on a bookshelf with all of your other what-nots
E A
If I were a painter, I'd talk you into posin' nude
E B E
Yeah, then you'd get paid to lay around all day and let me look at you
Now if I were a hitman, I'd take you cruisin' in my unmarked van
To kill some time sippin' wine on the beach in a far-away land
If I were a preacher, I'd say a few extra prayers
So you could sleep in on Sunday and still be squared away with the man upstairs
Chorus:
A E
But I am just what I am
B E
I was born a music man
A E A
So I do what I know how to do
F# B E A E
I string a few chords together and I'd sing about lovin' you
If I were an architect, I'd take my handy-dandy pencil set
Design you a two-story log home with a split-level wrap-around sun deck
If I were a lumberjack, I'd help you climb up the tallest tree
Show you the little baby eagles that ordinary people never get to see
Chorus
Chorus 2:
A E
But I am just what I am
B E
I was born a music man
A E A
So I do what I know how to do
F# B
I string a few chords together and I'd sing about lovin'
E D# C#
Spend all day just kissin' and cuddlin'
F# B E
And writin' these songs that are all about lovin' you
