Chords

[Verse 1]
   G
I grew up on the front porch

     D
My daddy had to go

    C
My mama never seemed

        G
to be around

   G
I tried to live a good live

         D
But it never felt right to me

   C
Trouble seemed to be what

           G
I always found

   Am
I went to serve my country

     G           D
When I was just 18

    C            G
Thinking of the man

              D
I dreamed I’d be

    Am
I found you late one night

       G            D
When you were all alone

    C               G
I still don’t know what

           D
you saw in me
[Chorus]
      G           D
The night seems like

      C            G
It never wants to end

     G          D
The days just seem

            C
To come and go

     G               D
I wish I’d been the man

          C                G
That you used to think I’d be

     G         D
The man you deserved

           C
Instead of me
[Verse 2]
     G
I haven’t had a job

     D
For 10 years now

       C
The bottle’s always been

            G
A friend to me

     G
I wake up every morning

      D
Thinking its time to change

          C
I don’t think I’m the man

               G
I was meant to be

       Am
You deserve a life with someone

    G             D
Standing by your side

   C                  G
A man who you could lean on

         D
In the night

         Am
When you met me years ago

        G                     D
That’s who you dreamed I would be

       C                 G
But somewhere along the way

             D
I lost the fight
[Chorus]
     G            D
The night seems like

      C            G
It never wants to end

      G         D
The days just seem

            C
To come and go

    G                D
I wish I’d been the man

          C                G
That you used to think I’d be

     G         D
The man you deserved

           C
Instead of me
[Bridge]
    Am                 C
I still dream of the life

      G            D
The life we never led

      C
Me holding you

 G              D
Late into the night

    Am                 C
I still dream of the days

     G                    D
The days that could have been

        C               G
But I never let you in and

              D
Did what’;s right
[Chorus]
     G            D
The night seems like

      C            G
It never wants to end

      G         D
The days just seem

            C
To come and go

    G                D
I wish I’d been the man

          C                G
That you used to think I’d be

     G         D
The man you deserved

           C
Instead of me
[Outro]
     G         D
The man you deserved

           C
Instead of me

    G         D
The man you deserved

           G
Instead of me
