                  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

And if want to sleep for a minute on the road
I will steer for you
And if you want to work the street alone
I'll, I'll disappear for you
If you want a father
For your child
Or only want to walk with me another mile
Across this sand
I'm your man
Yeah the moon's too bright
The chain's too tight
And the beast won't go to sleep
I've been running through these promises to you
That I made and I could not keep
Ah but a man never got a woman back
Not by begging on his knees
Or I'd crawl to you baby
And I'd fall at your feet
And I'd howl at your beauty
Like a dog in heat
And I'd claw at your heart
And I'd tear at your sheet
I'd say please
I'm your man
