Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 She locked her fingers and bowed her head

 She said I'm late, and I'm really scared

 You can go but I hope you stay

 I'm gonna keep it either way

 In my daddy's El Camino, in her driveway in the rain

Staring through the windshield I could see my future change

And my heart hit like a hammer and my thoughts were running wild

 Any fool can make a baby, it takes a man to raise a child

She said I know, I know, it don't seem real

She closed her eyes, but the tears flowed through

She said don't hate me for lovin you

Chorus

Bridge

 Well I could not reassure her

 I couldn't say what I had planned

 I couldn't put three words together

 So I just took her hand

Chorus

It takes a man
