Blue Rodeo – I Could Never Be That Man (Guitar)

G                        C
I've got my reasons for holding back,

F                        G
Can't give my trust too fast

G                              C
I've pulled myself out of the wreck too many times

F                       G
To think that words can last

D                   A
You need someone to help you when you're down

C               D              G
Pick you like a pearl from the sand

D              A
Somebody who's devoted to you

C                D               G   D/F#  Em
Right beside you when you take a stand

C             D       F      C       F      C      F  C  D   G
I could never be that man.

G                        C
You have a special shrine in your room

F                      G
Pictures of lovers on the wall

G                              C
I loved to lie there and look into their eyes,

F                       G
So confident before you let them fall

G                        C
Will you tell me please how to get them off their knees,

F                         G
Twirling 'round you fast as they can,

G                         C
How did you know that it worried me so,

F                       G
Not the ones who fall, but the ones who stand

G                      C
I still remember that time in my life

F                   G
When I was sinking so low.

G                               C
You stayed with me all through the night

F                      G
And sang me some songs you know.

D                      A
Now as time goes on, I wonder what went wrong,

C              D       G
Didn't I fit into your little plan

D                         A
Couldn't I be the one you lay your troubles on,

C               D                 G  D/F#  Em
Walk you to the edge and hold you hand,

C               D              G  D/F#  Em
Pick you like a pearl from the sand,

C          D              G  D/F#  Em
Open every doorway that I can,

C             D       G  D/F#  Em   D    C  D  G    C  D  G    C  D  G
I could never be that man.
