Blue Rodeo - I Could Never Be That Man guitar chord

Intro: x2

F C F C F C D G

G C

I've got my reasons for holding back,

F G

Can't give my trust too fast

G C

I've pulled myself out of the wreck too many times

F G

To think that words can last

***Chorus*********

D A

You need someone to help you when you're down

C D G

Pick you like a pearl from the sand

D A

Somebody who's devoted to you

C D G D/F# Em

Right beside you when you take a stand

C D F C F C F C D G

I could never be that man.

*******************

G C

You have a special shrine in your room

F G

Pictures of lovers on the wall

G C

I loved to lie there and look into their eyes,

F G

So confident before you let them fall

***Chorus 2***

G C

Will you tell me please how to get them off their knees,

F G

Twirling 'round you fast as they can,

G C

How did you know that it worried me so,

F G

Not the ones who fall, but the ones who stand

I could never be that man.

***SOLO

G C

I still remember that time in my life

F G

When I was sinking so low.

G C

You stayed with me all through the night

F G

And sang me some songs you know.

***Chorus 3***

D A

Now as time goes on, I wonder what went wrong,

C D G

Didn't I fit into your little plan

D A

Couldn't I be the one you lay your troubles on,

C D G D/F# Em

Walk you to the edge and hold you hand,

C D G D/F# Em

Pick you like a pearl from the sand,

C D G D/F# Em

Open every doorway that I can,

C D G D/F# Em D C D G C D G C D G

I could never be that man.
