(Capo on 2) 

(Intro.)
|(Bm) /(A)  / |(G) /(D)  / |(Bm) (A) Yeah, she all (G) (A)
 
(Chorus)
Yeah, she says she wants a (Bm)real man (A)
One who (G)opens up the door, who (D)holds her hand
And still smiles when he (Bm)feels bad (A)
In con-(G)trol of his emotions, (D)wears his heart on his sleeve
But don't (Bm)get mad (D)
One who (A)gives her all his time, (G)puts his dreams to the side
And gets a (Bm)real bag (A)
Yeah, she says she wants a (G)real man (D)
But what she wants is not for (Bm)real, man
 
 
(Verse)
(A)Realest story ever told
(G) Can't have a man who's (D)making money, always home
(Bm) Heart like a truck, that's (A)why he's always on the road
Providing (G)everything you need to (D)live the life you say you want
(Bm) Can't have a man who (D)wears his heart on a sleeve
That won't (A)rip once in a while (G)at the seams
Especially if you (Bm)never take the time (A) to look into his eyes
And (G)hear him when he silent-(D)ly screams
 
(Chorus)
Yeah, she says she wants a (Bm)real man (A)
One who (G)opens up the door, who (D)holds her hand
And still smiles when he (Bm)feels bad (A)
In con-(G)trol of his emotions, (D)wears his heart on his sleeve
But don't (Bm)get mad (D)
One who (A)gives her all his time, (G)puts his dreams to the side
And gets a (Bm)real bag (A)
Yeah, she says she wants a (G)real man (D)
But what she wants is not for (Bm)real, man
 
(Verse)
That Disney movie that (A)she wanted was a dream
And not (G)reality or something (D)that she got
(Bm) She put that man up (A)on a pedestal, discards him
When she (G)found out he was human, (D)then he dropped
He's not (Bm)perfect, but oh, (D)he tries
To live up (A)to her, her beauti-(Bm)ful lie
But as time goes (Bm)by, he'll real-(A)ize
The man he (G)once knew on the in-(D)side of him died
 
(Chorus)
Yeah, she says she wants a (Bm)real man (A) (real man)
One who (G)opens up the door, who holds (D)her hand 
And still smiles when he (Bm)feels bad (A) (feels bad)
In con-(G)trol of his emotions, (D)wears his heart on his sleeve
But don't (Bm)get mad (D (get mad)
One who (A)gives her all his time, (A)puts his dreams to the side
And gets a (Bm)real bag (A) (gats a real bag)
Yeah, she says she wants a (G)real man (D) (yeah, she says she wants a real man)
But what she wants is not for (Bm)real, man
 
(Break)
Love is (A)patient, love is kind (G)
Can't be (D)evil and also blind (Bm)
God made (A)man, then said in life (G)
He'll find (D)good things when he finds his wife (Bm)
So as a real (Bm)man, broken and confused
(Bm)Struggling, not knowing (D)what to do
He dove to the (Bm)bottom of the bottle
(Bm) Drowned in his sorrows
And (G)prayed one day she (D)would rescue
By stop pointing out (Bm)all his mistakes, (A)be the place he felt safe
To ex-(G)press the emotions (D) the world said he can't
He's the (Bm)rock that she needs but she (A)hammers away
At the (G)love that he has like (D) she wants it to break
Despite (Bm)all of the pain, (D) twisted and changed
(A)Trying to become the (G) whole picture she paints
Till she (Bm)woke up one day, said (A)she's walking away
Looked him (G)dead in the face (D)and then screamed 
 
(Chorus)
Yeah, she says she wants a (Bm)real man (A) (real man)
One who (G)opens up the door, who (D) holds her hand and still smiles
When he (Bm)feels bad (A) (she's not ready for it)
In con-(G)trol of his emotions, (D)wears his heart on his sleeve
But don't (Bm)get mad (D) (that's impossible)
One who (A)gives her all his time, (G)puts his dreams to the side
And gets a (Bm)real bag (A) (gets a real bag)
 
(Outro.)
Yeah, she says she wants a (G)real man (D) (yeah, she says she wants a real man)
But what she wants is not for (Bm)real, man (D) (A) (G) (Bm) (A) (G) (D) - - - - -
