Taylor Swift - The Man

[verse 1]
           F                   G
I would be complex, I would be cool
             C
They'd say I played the field before
            Am
I found someone to commit to
                  F              G
And that would be okay for me to do
      C
Every conquest I had made
              Am
would make me more of a boss to you

[pre-chorus]
F
 I'd be a fearless leader
G
 I'd be an alpha type
C
 When everyone believes ya
Am
 What's that like?

[chorus]
F                         G
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
C
 Wondering if I'd get there
           Am
quicker if I was a man
    F
And I'm so sick of them
       G
coming at me again
          C
'Cause if I was a man,
     Am
then I'd be the man
           F   G
I'd be the man
           C   Am
I'd be the man
           F   G
I'd be the man
           C   Am
I'd be the man

[verse 2]
             F                   G
They'd say I hustled, put in the work
              C
They wouldn't shake their heads and
                  Am
question how much of this I deserve
           F                 G
What I was wearing, if I was rude
             C
Could all be separated from my
      Am
good ideas and power moves

[pre-chorus]
F
 And they would toast to me,
 G
oh, let the players play
C                   Am
 I'd be just like Leo in Saint Tropez

[chorus]
F                         G
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
C
 Wondering if I'd get there
           Am
quicker if I was a man
    F
And I'm so sick of them
       G
coming at me again
          C
'Cause if I was a man,
     Am
then I'd be the man
           F   G
I'd be the man
           C   Am
I'd be the man
           F   G
I'd be the man
           C   Am
I'd be the man

[bridge]
What's it like to brag about
F
raking in dollars
            G
And getting bitches and models?
             C
And it's all good if you're bad
          Am
And it's okay if you're mad
             F
If I was out flashing my dollars,
         G
I'd be a bitch not a baller
                C
They'd paint me out to be bad
          Am
So, it's okay that I'm mad

[chorus]
F                         G
I'm so sick of running as fast as I can
C
 Wondering if I'd get there quicker
   Am
if I was a man (You know that)
    F
And I'm so sick of them coming
G
at me again (Coming at me again)
          C
'Cause if I was a man (If I was a man)
     Am
Then I'd be the man (Then I'd be the man)
F
I'm so sick of running
   G
as fast as I can (As fast as I can)
C
 Wondering if I'd get there
           Am
quicker if I was a man (Hey)
    F
And I'm so sick of them coming
G
at me again (Coming at me again)
          C
'Cause if I was a man (If I was a man),
     Am
then I'd be the man
           F   G
I'd be the man
           C       Am
I'd be the man (Oh)
           F         G
I'd be the man (Yeah)
           C   Am
I'd be the man (I'd be the man)

[outro]
F       G       C         Am
  If I was a man, then I'd be the man
