E                 D
  Like the brutal autumn sun

   E                 Dmaj7
It dawns on me, what have I done?

E                               D 
  Saying sorry ain't as good as saying why

       E                     Dmaj7
But it buys me a little more time
[PRE-CHORUS 1]
G                          A
  Lost in the moment for a second time

G                             A
  Each fuck-up that I make, unleash a cry

G                               A
  I'm just pathetic, that's the reason why

G                         A 
  In desperation all that you can do

   B
Is ask me why

[CHORUS]
             E         G  Dmaj7
'Cause I'm a man, woman

             E                 D   Dmaj7
Don't always think before I do

             E         G  Dmaj7
'Cause I'm a man, woman

              E                   D
It's the only answer I got for you

             E         G  Dmaj7
'Cause I'm a man, woman

          E                     D  Dmaj7
Not often proud of what I choose

        E         G  Dmaj7
I'm a human, woman

         E                D
A greater force I answer to
[VERSE 2]
E                  D
  Once again as it takes a hold

  E                 Dmaj7
I am aware, I'm not in control, see

E                              D
  I have a conscience and it's never fooled

         E                  Dmaj7
but it's prone to being overruled
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
G                             A
  You wanna know why I always think I'm right (why?)

G                             A
  You never accept defeat and let it slide (why?)

G                            A
  I have no voice if I don't speak my mind (why?)

G                              A
  My weakness is the source of all my pride

     B
I'll tell you why
[CHORUS]
             E          G  Dmaj7
'Cause I'm a man, woman

            E          D  Dmaj7
Don't always think before I do

             E          G  Dmaj7
'Cause I'm a man, woman

              E                   D
It's the only answer I got for you

             E          G  Dmaj7
'Cause I'm a man, woman

           E                  D  Dmaj7
I'll never be as strong as you

        E          G  Dmaj7
I'm a human, human

         E                D
A greater force I answer to
