The Man Himself

[Intro]
A E A
A E A
E G#m C#m B F#m E A
E G#m C#m B F#m G#m A
 
 
[Verse 1]
E
The days, the weeks
          A
And the years rolled on by all the unending pavement
     G#m       B         A                       C#m B/Eb       B
And beauty in the architecture of a two-bed that I can scarcely see
E                  B
You see? There was angels in the ornaments in underneath you
            F#m           G#m                            A
And they’re hummin' away, hummin' away 'til I get what I need
 
 
[Chorus]
E
Hey, now
G#m                   C#m
I dunno what to feel, I dunno how to feel right
B               F#m     E          A
But I want to become my own man, I guess
E
Hey, now
G#m                       C#m
I dunno if I'll ever feel right
                   B                         F#m    G#m      A
And let everything change to things that can make a man grow tall
 
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
          A                                            G#m
There's a painting of you and it hangs in our kitchen now
         A                             C#m B/Eb B E
'Cause when my kid's getting high in a hot-wired symphony
             B
Mm, and I'm looking for sage advice
           F#m           E                              A
You'll be hummin' away, hummin' away like everything's fine
 
 
[Chorus]
E
Hey, now
G#m                   C#m
I dunno what to feel, I dunno how to feel right
B               F#m     E          A
But I want to become my own man, I guess
E
Hey, now
G#m                       C#m
I dunno if I'll ever feel right
                   B                         F#m    G#m      A
And let everything change to things that can make a man grow tall

[Bridge]
A  C#m  B G#m  B   A
So take a single step at a simple pace
          C#m             B                     A
And the outward momentum will maybe unfuck you in time
    C#m        B
So comb your hair and clean your teeth
    G#m    B           A
And dial back home at least once or twice a week
       F#m                          E                       A
And be sure that you'll see them a lot more than I did with mine
               F#m             G#m                         A       E
But if they're out of the way, out of the way, then everything's fine
 
 
[Chorus]
E
 
G#m                   C#m                  B
I dunno what to feel, I dunno how to feel right
                F#m      E           A
But I want to become my own man, I guess
E
Hey, now
G#m                       C#m
I dunno if I'll ever feel right
                    B               F#m                 G#m  A
And let everything change to things that can make a man grow tall
 
 
[Outro]
    E
I'm out of the way, out of the way and everything
G#m             C#m
Out of the way, out of the way and everything
B               F#m                   E
Out of the way, hummin' away, hummin' away, hummin' away
A
Hummin' away, out of the way and everything
E
Out of the way, out of the way and everything
G#m             C#m
Out of the way, out of the way and everything
B               F#m                G#m          A
Out of the way, out of the way and everything's fine
