              Intro: Am   Dm   G    C E7 
 
  Am                                Dm 
I beat you to the punchline, girl I love you 
    G                    C    E7 
Now what we what we gon' do? 
  Am                          Dm 
I mean it really when I say I love you 
    G                       C  E7 
Whatever he did, I will not do 
        Am                        Dm            
Cause I hear your prayers late at night when no one's listening 
G                  C     E7 
Praying I stay the same 
 
             Am 
I'm not your father 
          Dm 
I won't desert you 
             G 
I'm not your ex 
              C        E7 
Not trying to hurt you 
           Am 
I'm just a man 
      Dm 
Tryna love you 
           G 
I'm just a man  
          Am       E7 
Trying to love you 
 
     Am                           Dm 
Your walls are so impossible, I'm tired 
       G                           C      E7 
As I'm climbing, they keep on multiplying 
     Am                           Dm 
Everytime there's progress, we regress 
And I'm stressed 
            G                      C      E7                       
All I wanna know, is why you can't let it go? 
 
             Am 
I'm not your father 
          Dm 
I won't desert you 
             G 
I'm not your ex 
              C        E7 
Not trying to hurt you 
           Am 
I'm just a man 
      Dm 
Tryna love you 
           G 
I'm just a man  
          C        E7 
Trying to love you 
 
Dm                           C 
   Cause everything you ever want 
                                 G 
   Is standing right in front of you 
                       Am 
   Everything you ever need 
                            Dm 
   I make sure I put by for you 
                     C      
   And I know you're scared 
                   F 
   And I've had my days too 
                                G     
   Let's just face this thing together, hey! 
 
             Am 
I'm not your father 
          Dm 
I won't desert you 
             G 
I'm not your ex 
              C        E7 
Not trying to hurt you 
           Am 
I'm just a man 
      Dm 
Tryna love you 
           G 
I'm just a man  
          C        E7 
Trying to love you
