Gang Of Youths - The Man Himself

[Intro]
A E A
A E A
E G#m C#m B F#m E A
E G#m C#m B F#m G#m A

[Verse 1]
E
The days, the weeks
A
And the years rolled on by all the unending pavement
G#m B A C#m B/Eb B
And beauty in the architecture of a two-bed that I can scarcely see
E B
You see? There was angels in the ornaments in underneath you
F#m G#m A
And they’re hummin’ away, hummin’ away ’til I get what I need

[Chorus]
E
Hey, now
G#m C#m
I dunno what to feel, I dunno how to feel right
B F#m E A
But I want to become my own man, I guess
E
Hey, now
G#m C#m
I dunno if I’ll ever feel right
B F#m G#m A
And let everything change to things that can make a man grow tall

[Interlude]
G#m A F#m E

[Verse 2]
A G#m
There’s a painting of you and it hangs in our kitchen now
A C#m B/Eb B E
‘Cause when my kid’s getting high in a hot-wired symphony
B
Mm, and I’m looking for sage advice
F#m E A
You’ll be hummin’ away, hummin’ away like everything’s fine

[Chorus]
E
Hey, now
G#m C#m
I dunno what to feel, I dunno how to feel right
B F#m E A
But I want to become my own man, I guess
E
Hey, now
G#m C#m
I dunno if I’ll ever feel right
B F#m G#m A
And let everything change to things that can make a man grow tall

{Instrumental]
G#m A B/Eb E
G#m A B/Eb E

[Bridge]
A C#m B G#m B A
So take a single step at a simple pace
C#m B A
And the outward momentum will maybe unfuck you in time
C#m B
So comb your hair and clean your teeth
G#m B A
And dial back home at least once or twice a week
F#m E A
And be sure that you’ll see them a lot more than I did with mine
F#m G#m A E
But if they’re out of the way, out of the way, then everything’s fine

[Chorus]
E

G#m C#m B
I dunno what to feel, I dunno how to feel right
F#m E A
But I want to become my own man, I guess
E
Hey, now
G#m C#m
I dunno if I’ll ever feel right
B F#m G#m A
And let everything change to things that can make a man grow tall

[Outro]
E
I’m out of the way, out of the way and everything
G#m C#m
Out of the way, out of the way and everything
B F#m E
Out of the way, hummin’ away, hummin’ away, hummin’ away
A
Hummin’ away, out of the way and everything
E
Out of the way, out of the way and everything
G#m C#m
Out of the way, out of the way and everything
B F#m G#m A
Out of the way, out of the way and everything’s fine
