To Be A Man (Remix) Chords by Dax

[Start]

[Chorus]
        B          
I can't hide myself
        Gb                      
I don't expect you to understand
       Abm               
I just hope I can explain
                       E  
What it's like to be a man
       B          
It's a lonely road
               Gb                      
And they don't care 'bout what you know
Abm                        
It's not 'bout how you feel
             E                       
But what you provide inside that home


[Verse]
B                                
■ Bein' a man is what you make it
          Gb                            
You can't always live up to expectations
           Abm                                               
You try to please everybody while you struggle so you fake it
    E                                            
And end up out of balance compromisin' situations
     B                            Gb 
As a good man a do what he should man
                                Gb                     
A give everything he has and do everything he could man
Abm                                      
You might find yourself feelin' all alone
E                                                        
Inside a house you built that you don't recognize as home


[Chorus]
B                                                         Gb  
And that's what my daddy told me and I'll tell my son the same
                                                    Abm 
Now that I'm older I relate and I actually feel his pain
                         Abm                         
He never cried he mighta lied but he did not complain
E                                             B   
And he said Son one day you'll have to do the same
                                                 Gb    
I get emotional when I stop and think and I look around
                                    Abm 
Beyond the county lines of my small town
                              Abm                         
I think about all the men out there who feel like I do now
E                                                          
Who are screamin' on the inside but won't ever make a sound
                    B
I can't hide myself ■
        Gb                      
I don't expect you to understand
       Abm               
I just hope I can explain
          E               
What it's like to be a man
       B          
It's a lonely road
               Gb                      
And they don't care 'bout what you know
Abm                        
It's not 'bout how you feel
             E                       
But what you provide inside that home


[Verse]
              B              
Don't give up ■ keep fightin'
                        Gb     
As a man our son is our horizon
                                                   Abm     
And our fathers' actions play a role and we end up like him
              Abm                 
So they can't let us see them hurt
             E                                                 
'cause we'll embody what they do and start a generational curse
          B                        
No wonder most men are so depressed
        B                             
All the things that they can't express
           Gb                         
They go to war get thrown on the shelf
                Gb                         
Then go back to war with they mental health
               Abm                    
Then grab that bottle and ask for help
       Abm                        
Try to pull themselves out of hell


[Chorus]
               E                    
Then fall back down and then realize
               E                       
That they gon' have to do it themselves
         E                                  
It's the circle of life as a man you provide
           Gb                                              
They don't know what you're worth 'til the day that you die
           E                     
And that's when they start cryin'
                  Gb               
Then move on to a man to confide in
              B                           
That's why we feel we can't hide ourselves
         Gb                      
We don't expect you to understand
        Abm                
We just hope we can explain
          E               
What it's like to be a man
       B          
It's a lonely road
              Gb                     
And you don't care 'bout what we know
Abm                       
It's not 'bout how we feel
            E                        B
But what we provide inside that home ■
Gb       
That home
Abm                       
It's not 'bout how we feel
Abm7        Abm     E               
But what we provide inside that home


[Outro]
B Gb Abm E
