A#                    F
I know you wish, that I could be,
F                              D#
More than any other man you've ever known,
D#dim7                   A#
The way you look at me, sometimes, makes me feel,
C7       Dm            D#           F
What I'm really worth, I've never shown.

A#                          F
But I think there's so much more to life, than simply winning things,
F                  D#
So you can stand a step above your friends,
D#dim7                                     A#
'Cause all the things a hundred dollars of work a week might buy,
C7        Dm       D#                F
Will only wet your appetite, not satisfy you.


[Chorus]
 
A#            Gm
And I'm just a man,
A#                Gm
Born of a woman like you,
D#     Dm      Cm
I'm      just a man,
Dm           D#                  Dm                Cm
who can't be blind to the things I find, in this world.

[Verse]

A#                 F
So let me try to find a way that I can be,
F                        D#
Worth the time and space I fill,
D#dim7                   A#
Though I lose the common race while chasing dreams,
C7        Dm        D#               F
I need to have you, standing by me still.


[Chorus]

A#             Gm
For I'm just a man,
A#                   Gm
Born of a woman like you,
D#     Dm      Cm
I'm just a man,
Dm             D#                               
who needs your love,
      Dm                Cm             Dm               A#        F
and to know that you're proud of the kind of man I am inside me.

D#     Dm      Cm
I'm just a man,
Dm             D#
who needs your love,
       Dm               Cm                   Dm        A#
and to know that you're proud of the kind of man I am inside me.
       D#                             A#
'Cause all I am is a man, born of a woman like you.
D#                                 A#
All I am is a man, born of a woman like you.
D#                                 A#
All I am is a man, born of a woman like you.
