A                   D
Powders in between palms
In the dry Pacific night
E A
Ooooooh

Hands pulling me
To a whole new place
Ooh

Chorus:
A
I'm your man, I'm your man
I'm your man, I'm your man
I'm your man, I'm your man
I'm your man, I'm your man
D
I'm your man, I'm your man
I'm your man, I'm your man
I'm your man, I'm your man
I'm your man, I'm your man

"Free house," greatest two words
To hear at sixteen
Ooh

Glee, you've arrived
Floral notes from your friends
In between the crowd, we lock eyes

C#m
"This fragrance should elevate your handsomeness"
       D                                     A
She's looking up from the packaging and smiling
I know this girl, I've seen her at school
C#m                                D
"Then I'll take a palette", I laugh
                                             A
The snap of my quip is caught under another shopper
Asking for directions to the restroom
She turns back to me
C#m
"Would you like this gift wrapped?"
               D
"No, thank you"
I watch her hands
                        A
"Okay, that'll be £49.95"
          C#m
I think I love her
D       A
"...Okay"

Chorus
