*Lyrics&Chords:

-Verse 1:
E5	  Ab5		      F#5		A5
I'm gonna leave this place, I swear this time I'm running home.
E5	  Ab5		      F#5		A5
I know this place too well that promises I'll be alone.
E5	  Ab5		      F#5		A5
Somewhere between here and there and back and forth I'll come around
E5	Ab5 		F#5
It's what I want to tell you

*Chorus:
C#5		  F#5				A5			E5
it's been so very long since I've been man enough to be the kind of man...
E5			 *play the lick
if I'm gonna hold your hand.

-Verse 2:
E5	Ab5		  F#5		A5
I was reminded of the lack of who I am, I swallowed hard.
E5	  Ab5		      F#5		A5
And in the night I took a firefly for a shooting star.
E5	  Ab5		      F#5		A5
I watched the sun come up and burn away this feeling over me.
E5	Ab5	     F#5
It'll be ok, you'll see.

-Interlude/Chorus2:
C#5		  F#5				A5			E5
it's been so very long since I've been man enough to be the kind of man...
E5			 C#5
if I'm gonna hold your hand.
C#5		F#5			A5
Now I'm finding out, somewhere inside of me
		    E5
I'll be the kind of man that I'm supposed to be.
