(Non Capo)

(Intro.)
None

(Verse 1)
I would be (F)complex, I would be (G)cool
They'd say I (C)played the field before I found some-(Am)one to commit to
And that would be (F)okay for me to (G)do
Every (C)conquest I had made would make me (Am)more of a boss to you

(Pre-Chorus)
(F) I'd be a fearless leader
(G) I'd be an alpha type
(C) When everyone believes ya
(Am) What's that like?

(Chorus)
(F)I'm so sick of running as (G)fast as I can
(C) Wondering if I'd get there quicker if (Am)I was a man
And (F)I'm so sick of them coming (G)at me again
'Cause if (C)I was a man, then (Am)I'd be the man
I'd be a (F)man (G)
I'd be a (C)man (Am)

(Verse 2)
They'd say I (F)hustled, put in the (G)work
They wouldn't (C)shake their heads and question how much (Am)of this I deserve
What I was (F)wearing, if I was (G)rude
Could all be (C)separated from my good i-(Am)deas and power moves

(Pre-Chorus)
(F) And they would toast to me, oh, (G) let the players play
(C) I'd be just like Leo (Am) in Saint Tropez 

(Chorus)
(F)I'm so sick of running as (G)fast as I can
(C) Wondering if I'd get there quicker if (Am)I was a man
And (F)I'm so sick of them coming (G)at me again
'Cause (C)if I was a man, then (Am)I'd be the man
I'd be the (F)man (G)
I'd be the (C)man (An)

(Bridge)
What's it like to brag about (F)raking in dollars
And getting (G)b***hes and models?
And it's all (C)good if you're bad
And it's o-(Am)kay if you're mad
If I was out (F)flashing my dollars
I'd be a (G)b***h not a baller
They'd paint me (C)out to be bad
So, it's o-(Am)kay that I'm mad

(Chorus)
(F)I'm so sick of running as (G)fast as I can
(C) Wondering if I'd get there quicker if (Am)I was a man (You know that)
And (F)I'm so sick of them coming (G)at me again (Coming at me again)
'Cause if (C)I was a man (If I was a man)
Then (Am)I'd be the man (Then I'd be the man)
(F)I'm so sick of running as (G)fast as I can (As fast as I can)
(C) Wondering if I'd get there quicker if (Am)I was a man (Hey)
And (F)I'm so sick of them coming (G)at me again (Coming at me again)
'Cause if (C)I was a man (If I was a man), then (Am)I'd be the man
I'd be the (F)man (G)
I'd be the (C)man (Oh) (Am)
I'd be the (F)man (Yeah) (G)
I'd be the (C)man (Am) (I'd be the man)

(Outro.)
(F) If I (G)was a man, (C) then I'd be the (Am)man - - - - -
