Fm
If you want a lover
D#
I'll do anything you ask me to
Fm
If you want another kind of love
D#
I'll wear my little mask for you
Cm
If you want a partner
Take my hand
G#
Or if you want to strike me down in anger
A#
Here I stand
Cm
I'm your man
If you want a boxer
I will step into the ring for you
If you want a jewish doctor
I'll uncover every inch of you
If you want a driver
Climb inside
Or if you want to take me for a ride
Well you know you can
I'm your man
D#
Yeah the moon's too bright
G#
And the chain's too tight
A# D#
And the beast won't go to sleep
Gm
I've been running through these promises to you
Cm
That I made and I could not keep
G
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Cm
Not by begging on his knees
G#
Or I'd crawl to you baby
G
And I'd fall at your feet
G#
And I'd howl at your beauty
G
Like a dog in heat
G#
And I'd claw at your heart
F
And I'd tear at your sheet
A#
I'd say please
Cm
I'm your man
