Taylor Swift – The Man
Key: C Major BPM: ♩ = 110 Time: 4/4
          |F                  |G   |
I would be complex, I would be cool
            |C                                 |Am              |
They’d say I played the field before I found someone to commit to
                 |F            |G   |
And that would be ok, for me to do
     |C                                |Am                   |
Every conquest I had made would make me more of a boss to you
|F                      |G                       |C                       |Am   |
   I’d be a fearless leader, I’d be an alpha type,  when everyone believes ya

                 |F                        |G            |
What’s that like? I’m so sick of running as fast as I can
|C                                       |Am         |
   Wondering if I’d get there quicker, if I was a man
   |F                         |G                     |C                |Am            |
And I’m so sick of them coming at me again, ’cause if I was a man, then I’d be the man
          |F   |G           |C   |Am   |
I’d be the man,   I’d be the man

            |F                  |G   |
They’d say I hustled, put in the work
             |C                                      |Am               |
They wouldn’t shake their heads and question how much of this I deserve
          |F                |G   |
What I was wearing, if I was rude
            |C                      |Am                  |
Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves
|F                            |G                       |C                   |Am                |
   And they would toast to me, oh, let the players play,  I’d be just like Leo, in Saint-Tropez

|F                        |G            |C                                       |Am         |
 I’m so sick of running as fast as I can,  wondering if I’d get there quicker, if I was a man
   |F                         |G                     |C                |Am            |
And I’m so sick of them coming at me again, ’cause if I was a man, then I’d be the man
          |F   |G           |C   |Am                            |
I’d be the man,   I’d be the man,   what’s it like to brag about

|F                             |G                 |
 Raking in dollars, and getting bitches and models
            |C                             |Am              |
And it’s all good if you’re bad, and it’s okay if you’re mad
            |F                            |G                  |
If I was out flashing my dollars, I’d be a bitch, not a baller
             |C                       |Am             |
They paint me out to be bad, so it’s okay that I’m mad

|F                        |G         |C                                       |Am         |
 I’m so sick of running as fast I can,  wondering if I’d get there quicker, if I was a man
   |F                         |G                     |C                |Am            |
And I’m so sick of them coming at me again, ’cause if I was a man, then I’d be the man
|F                        |G            |C                                       |Am         |
 I’m so sick of running as fast as I can,  wondering if I’d get there quicker, if I was a man
   |F                         |G                     |C                |Am            |
And I’m so sick of them coming at me again, ’cause if I was a man, then I’d be the man

          |F   |G           |C   |Am   |
I’d be the man,   I’d be the man
          |F   |G           |C   |Am   |
I’d be the man,   I’d be the man

|F     |G          |C           |Am     |
     If I was a man,  I’d be the man
