Capo on fourth fret!!!
Finger pick!!

Use a regular C chord on the bridge......

This is my favorite song!!!  The Intro is just a Regular G chord.  Hit
the Bottom string, then hammer on your pointer finger on the 2nd string
on the first fret, and your middle finger on the fourth string on the 2nd
fret at the same time.  Enjoy!!!!


G                    D                       Em               C
I saw some old friends the other day
G                             D
and all they could talk about
         Em               C
was how I?ve changed
  Em                                    D
They thought I?d be the last one
   C                   D
to ever settle down
Em                                   D
They can?t believe I?m flying so high
          C                           D
with both feet on the ground

Chorus:
G                D                 Em
You make me wanna be
              C
a better man
G                 D                  Em
You make me wanna do
                  C
the best I can
Em                  D
I feel a little stronger
           G              D              C
every time you hold my hand
G                                    D
You make me wanna be
               G
a better man

Verse 2
G                            D
Now there was a time
                     Em                C
when I ran wild as the Texas wind
G                          D
Never slowing down enough
                Em               C
to ever let that party end
Em                          D
Then your love surrounded me
            C                            G
like a shelter from the storm
Em                 D
Baby you believed in me
        C                    D
like no one has before

CHORUS

Bridge:
      Em                                          Bm
And you know sometimes I stumble
  C                         G
Yeah, everybody does
        Em                                              Bm
But you keep me reaching for the man I can be
C                              D
And not the man I was.....

The next riff is the first part of the chorus, leading into this

Em                    D                     G             D
C
I feel a little stronger, every time you hold my hand
G                                    D                   G
You make me wanna be, a better man
         Em     G                                  D
Oh, Baby, you make me wanna be
               G
a better man
