What Its Like To Be A Man Chords by DAX

[Intro]

N.C
 
 
[Chorus]

         G
I can't hide myself
           D
I don't expect you to understand
        Em
I just hope I can explain
           C
What it's like to be a man
 
        G
It's a lonely road
                D
And they don't care about 

what you know
     Em
It's not 'bout how you feel
                 C
But what you provide 

inside that home
 
 
[Verse]

    G                      
Yeah, I know this life can 
                 D
really beat you down, uh
                               
You wanna scream but you won't 
        Em
make a sound, uh
 
Got so much weight that 

you've been holdin'
           C
But won't show any emotion, 

as a man, that goes unspoken
 
       G
That we can't cry when life gets hard
   D
Unconditional love for women, 

children and dogs
Em
We know that we just have to

 our parts
             C
And don't nobody give a dang about 

our broken hearts, yeah
 
G
 As a man, we gotta pave our way
 D
Our only function is to work and slave
 Em
There's no respect for you if 

you ain't paid
             C
You're disregarded as a human and

 you can't complain
 
            G
And if you ever make it up and 

actually reach that place
            D
And find a woman that you love and 

give her your last name
                 Em
You'll feel the things that 

You provide is only why she stays
              C
And when you try to explain, you'll say
 
 
[Chorus]

         G
I can't hide myself
           D
I don't expect you to understand
        Em
I just hope I can explain
           C
What it's like to be a man

(What it's like to be a man)
 
        G
It's a lonely road 

(It's a lonely road)
                D
And they don't care 

'bout what you know 

(Care 'bout what you know)
     Em
It's not 'bout how you feel
                 C
But what you provide inside that home
 
 
[Verse]
           G
Don't give up, keep fightin'
                            D
As a man, our son is our horizon
                                          
And our fathers' actions play a role and  
           Em
we end up like him
 
So they can't let us see them hurt
                  C
'Cause they'll embody what we do and 

start a generational curse
 
           G
No wonder most men are so depressed
 
All the things that they can't express
            D
They go to war, get thrown on the shelf
 
Then go back to war with 

mental health
                Em
Then grab that bottle and ask for help
 
Try to pull themselves out of heck
                C
Then fall back down and then realize
 
That they gon' have to do it themselves
 
 
[Break]

          C
It's the circle of life, as a man,

 you provide
            D
They don't know what you're worth

til the day that you die
            C
And that's when they start cryin'
                   D
Then move on to a man to confide in
 
That's why we feel
 
 
[Chorus]
          G
We can't hide ourselves
            D
We don't expect you to understand
         Em
We just hope we can explain
           C
What it's like to be a man 

(What it's like to be a man)
 
        G
It's a lonely road 

(It's a lonely road)
               D
And you don't care

bout what we know 

(Care 'bout what we know)
     Em
It's not 'bout how we feel
                C                    
But what we provide inside that home
              G
(Inside that home)
      D
That home
 
 
[Outro]

     Em
It's not 'bout how we feel
                C                     
But what we provide inside that home 
              G    D  Em  C
(Inside that home)
