D                                 G           A
The world is quiet, like there's no-one around,
D                 G      A
But I feel you beside me.
D                            G                 A
I know the secrets you keep locked away inside,
D                            G
Don't understand why you're fighting.

G                   F#m               Em
I know she must be special, this new girl by your
side
I seek for answers when I look into your eyes
And he turns, so I can't, but I will be strong

        A                               A7
And it hurts like hell, but I will be strong.

Chorus:
    D             G         A
For once in your life be a man
      D           G               A
Just tell me the words, cause I know that you can.
       D              G         A          Bm
Don't leave me with scars that no-one can heal,
    G            A#         D G D G
For once in your life be a man

You made me love you, love you right from the start
You're controllin' my heart, babe
Don't pack your bags yet, give me time to
say goodbye (Say goodbye)
Just don't leave me wounded

No, I just hope you will regret the things you do
Come back to me 'cause our love is the real thing
And it hurts like hell, but I will be strong

Chorus:
For once in your life, be a man
Just tell me the words 'cause I know that you can
(Know that you can)
Don't leave me with scars that no one can heal
For once in your life, be a man

I knew that I
I fought to keep our love strong
If you leave me now
You'll come running back for more, babe
And I hope for, and I wish for, and I pray
That the words from your mouth can
Eventually make you a man, ah

Chorus:
For once in your life, be a man
When everything stops for a minute in your life
I'll hope that
For once in your life, be a man (Be a man)
Just tell me the words 'cause I know that you can
(Know that you can)
Don't leave me with scars that no one can heal
For once in your life, be a man

Be a man
Tell me the words (Once in your life)
Be a man (Tell me the words)
