Ben Folds – Im Not The Man (Guitar)

               D              Bm
What will they write about me

F#m           A               G      D/G        A
What will the version be when all is said and done

            D      Bm                F#m
Will they remember all of the places seen

    A                 G      D/G       A
The poem's lost or am I just wandering on

G        D         A
I'm just wandering on

               G           Em
There could be fewer days ahead than gone

    Bm
And all I've spent

    A               G
Are long since on my way

            Em           Bm        A
To learning nothing comes for free

                Em  D
But I'm not the man

            G    A
I'm not the man

          G   Em  Bm  A
I used to be

      D                    Bm
So it all comes out in the wash

               F#m
What would you see?

A                      G           D               A
Tattered pages and the ink stained pockets of your jeans

                Bm          Gmaj7          A
So I've come to pay my respects at the wake

     F#m                   G          D      A
I've buried it all and I'm dancing on my own grave

         G          D      A
Yeah I'm dancing on my own grave

               G          Em
There could be fewer days ahead than gone

Bm
And all I've spent

    A            G
Are long since on my way

            Em                Bm    A
To learning nothing comes for free

                Em  D
But I'm not the man

            G    A
I'm not the man

          D   A/C#  Bm  A
I used to be

G     A          Bm    A
Don't leave me behind

G     A          Bm    A
Don't leave me behind

                G
Like I left you behind

               G          Em
There could be fewer days ahead than gone

Bm           A
And all I've spent

    G
Are long since on my way

            Em                Bm    A
To learning nothing comes for free

        G              Em
I had a lot of time to waste

            Bm            A
I wrote the lines upon my face

        G        Em                Bm      A
Chasing down the shots they bought for me

                G    D/F#
But I'm not the man

            G    D/F#
I'm not the man

            G    A
I'm not the man

              G   Em  Bm  A
But I used to be

          G              Em
I used to be my father's son

          Bm        A
I used to be number one

          G            Em
I used to be paper and pencil

          Bm         A
I used to be endless potential

          G             Em
I used to be heaven and earth

          Bm        A
I used to be my net worth

          G                     Em
I used to be one public drunken moment

          Bm               A
I used to be high paid and low rent

          G             Em
I used to be a man on a mission

              Bm
My best chart position

               A
The man in the mirror

                   G
Your brother, your killer

             Em
A new day, a new town

                     Bm
Your racehorse, your cash cow

               A
Till I let you all down

              G   D/F#
Now I want to be

          G   A
I want to be

          D
Just want to be
