[Verse 1]

C               G/B             Am7
 This ain't the life I thought I'd live
               F      G          C
This ain't the home I hoped we'd make
               G/B              Am7
This ain't the path I thought I chose
               F      G           C
This ain't the sky I'd hoped we'd see
               G/B                  Am7
This ain't the tree I thought would grow
               F      G         C
This ain't the god to which I pray
               G/B                Am7
This ain't the song I thought I'd write
                F       G        C
These ain't the words I want to say

G/B    Am7      F   G          C       G/B     Am7    F  G
   But  I        can't be your man

[Verse 2]

C               G/B                Am7
 This ain't the flag I thought we'd raise
               F        G           C
This ain't the wind I'd hoped would blow
               G/B                 Am7                          
This ain't the ship I thought would sail
               F       G             C
This ain't the rose I'd hoped would bloom
               G/B                 Am7  
This ain’t the play I thought we’d stage
                F        G           C
These ain’t the hills I’d hoped we’d roam
               G/B                  Am7
This ain’t the sword pulled from the lake
                F      G         C
Yours ain’t the heart I want to break

G/B    Am7      F   G          C       G/B     Am7    F  G
   But  I        can't be your man


[Verse 3]

C              G/B               Am7
 This ain't the end I thought it'd be
            F        G         C
Are you someone I've loved before
           G/B                 Am7
Is this the song the caged bird sings
              F       G          C
Is there some law I choose to ignore
         G/B           Am7
This is a faith I must defend
        F    G          C
I've tried, I can't pretend
          G/B              Am7
There is a hope I must contend
               F               G           C
We'll find the thread with the strength to mend

G/B    Am7      F   G          C       G/B     Am7   
   But  I        can't be your man 

      F        G        F
Least not this time around
                     C          F
It's something unpredictable
                       Am7  G/B  F
Like where a leaf might fa---aa--all
                      C        Am7     F
It's something unrestrainable
                          C
Like a rooster's morning call
