4. THE MAN ================================================================================================
[Verse 1]
F G
I would be complex, I would be cool
C Am
They'd say I played the field before I found someone to commit to
F G
And that would be okay for me to do
C Am
Every conquest I had made would make me 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 G
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
C Am
Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man
F G
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again
C Am
'Cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man
F G
I'd be the man
C Am
I'd be the man
[Verse 2]
F G
They'd say I hustled, put in the work
C Am
They wouldn't shake their heads and question how much of this I deserve
F G
What I was wearing, if I was rude
C Am
Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves
[Pre-Chorus]
F G
And they would toast to me, oh, let the players play
C Am
I'd be just like Leo in Saint Tropez
[Chorus]
F G
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
C Am
Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man
F G
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again
C Am
'Cause if I was a man, then I'd be the man
F G
I'd be the man
C Am
I'd be the man
[Bridge]
F
What's it like to brag about drinking and dollars
G
And getting bitches and models?
C
And it's all good if you're bad
Am
And it's okay if you're mad
F G
If I was out flashing my dollars, I'd be a bitch not a baller
C
They'd paint me out to be bad
Am
So, it's okay that I'm mad
[Chorus]
F G
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
C Am
Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man (You know that)
F G
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again (Coming at me again)
C
'Cause if I was a man (If I was a man)
Am
Then I'd be the man (Then I'd be the man)
F G
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can (As fast as I can)
C Am
Wondering if I'd get there quicker if I was a man (Hey)
F G
And I'm so sick of them coming at me again (Coming at me again)
C Am
'Cause if I was a man (If I was a man), then I'd be the man
F G
I'd be the man
C Am
I'd be the man (Oh)
F G
I'd be the man (Yeah)
C Am
I'd be the man (I'd be the man)

Combat, I'm ready for combat
G Am F
I say I don't want that, but what if I do?
G Am F
'Cause cruelty wins in the movies
G Am F
I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Easy they come, easy they go
G
I jump from the train, I ride off alone
Am
I never grew up, it's getting so old
F
Help me hold on to you
[Chorus]

I've been the archer, I've been the prey
Am
Who could ever leave me, darling
F
But who could stay?
[Verse 2]

Dark side, I search for your dark side
G Am F
But what if I'm alright, right, right, right here?
G Am F
And I cut off my nose just to spite my face
G Am F
Then I hate my reflection for years and years
[Pre-Chorus]
C
I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost
G
The room is on fire, invisible smoke
Am
And all of my heroes die all alone
F
Help me hold on to you
[Chorus]
C F
I've been the archer, I've been the prey
Am
Screaming, who could ever leave me, darling
F
But who could stay? (I see right through me, I see right through me)
[Bridge]

'Cause they see right through me, they see right through me
G
They see right through, can you see right through me?
Am
They see right through, they see right through me
F
I see right through, I see right through me
[Pre-Chorus]
C
All the king's horses, all the king's men
G
Couldn't put me together again
Am
'Cause all of my enemies started out friends
F
Help me hold on to you
[Chorus]
C F
I've been the archer, I've been the prey
Am
Who could ever leave me, darling
F
But who could stay? (I see right through me, I see right through me)
[Outro]

Who could stay?
F
Who could stay?
Am
Who could stay?

You could stay
C G F
You could stay...
G Am F
Combat, I'm ready for combat

9. CORNELIA STREET ========================================================================================
[Intro]
C G F
[Verse 1]
C
We were in the backseat
G F
Drunk on something stronger than the drinks in the bar
C
"I rent a place on Cornelia Street"
G Am F
I say casually in the car
C
We were a fresh page on the desk
G Am F
Filling in the blanks as we go
C G
As if the street lights pointed in an arrow head
Am F
Leading us home
[Chorus]
C G
And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends
Am F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
C G
That's the kinda heartbreak time could never mend
Am F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
C G Am F
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name
C G Am
And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away
F C
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
G Am F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
[Verse 2]
C
Windows swung right open, autumn air
G Am F
Jacket 'round my shoulders is yours
C
We bless the rains on Cornelia Street
G Am F
Memorize the creaks in the floor
C
Back when we were card sharks, playing games
G Am F
I thought you were leading me on
C
I packed my bags, left Cornelia Street
G Am F
Before you even knew I was gone
[Pre-Chorus]
G
But then you called, showed your hand
Am
I turned around before I hit the tunnel
F
Sat on the roof, you and I
[Chorus]
C G
And I hope I never lose you, hope it never ends
Am F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
C G
That's the kinda heartbreak time could never mend
Am F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again

And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name

And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away

I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
G Am F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
[Bridge]
G
You hold my hand on the street
Am
Walk me back to that apartment
F
Years ago, we were just inside
G
Barefoot in the kitchen
Am
Sacred new beginnings
F
That became my religion, listen
[Chorus]
C G
I hope I never lose you
Am F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
C G Am F
Oh, never again
C G Am F
And baby, I get mystified by how this city screams your name
C G Am F
And baby, I'm so terrified of if you ever walk away
F C
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
G Am F
I'd never walk Cornelia Street again
[Post-Chorus]

Paper cut stains from my paper-thin plans

My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust

[Verse 1]
C G F
My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in
C G F
Everyone looked worse in the light
C G F
There are so many lines that I've crossed unforgiven
C G F
I'll tell you the truth, but never goodbye
[Chorus]
C G
I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
Dm F
I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you
C G
I've been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night
Dm
And now I see daylight,
F
I only see daylight
[Verse 2]
C G F
Luck of the draw only draws the unlucky
C G F
And so I became the butt of the joke
C G F
I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked
C G F
Clearing the air, I breathed in the smoke
C
Maybe you ran with the wolves and refused to settle down
G
Maybe I've stormed out of every single room in this town
Dm
Threw out our cloaks and our daggers because it's morning now
F
It's brighter now, now
[Chorus]
C G
I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you (I can never look away)
Dm F
I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you (Things will never be the same)
C G
I've been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night (Now I'm wide awake)
Dm
And now I see daylight (Daylight),
F
I only see daylight (Daylight)
C G
I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight
Dm G
I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight
[Bridge]
C
And I can still see it all (In my mind)
G
All of you, all of me (Intertwined)
Dm
I once believed love would be (Black and white)
F
But it's golden (Golden)
C
And I can still see it all (In my head)
G
Back and forth from New York (Sneaking in your bed)
Dm
I once believed love would be (Burning red)
F
But it's golden
C
Daylight
G
Like daylight
Dm
Like daylight,
F
Daylight
[Chorus]

Dm F
It's golden like daylight
C G
You gotta step into the daylight and let it go
Dm F C G
Just let it go, let it go
Dm
I wanna be defined by the things that I love
F
Not the things I hate
C
Not the things that I'm afraid of, I'm afraid of
G
Not the things that haunt me in the middle of the night
Dm
I, I just think that
F
You are what you love

In the song Daylight, you said "singing in you're bed", and it's actually "sneaking in your bed". Otherwise, this was great!
