Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I never thought that I could be so bold

To even say these thoughts aloud

I see you with your man, your eyes just shine

While he stands tall and walking proud

That look you give that guy I wanna see

Looking right at me

If I could be that guy instead of me

 I'd never let you down

It always seems like you're going somewhere

Better than you've been before

While I go to sleep and I dream all night

Of you knocking at my door

That look you give that guy I wanna see

Looking right at me

If I could be that guy instead of me

 I'd be all I can be, I'd be all I can be

Interlude

I'm nothing like what I'd like to be

I'm nothing much I know it's true

I lack the style and the pedigree

And my chances are so few

That look you give that guy I wanna see

Looking right at me

If I could be that guy instead of me

 I'd give you all I got

I never thought that I could be so bold

To even say these thoughts aloud

But if, let's say, it won't work out

You know where I can be found

That look you give that guy I wanna see

Looking right at me

If I could be that guy instead of me

 I'd never let you down, I'd never let you down
