G
Well I fumbled for a pencil
           Am
And my I'm so sorry pad
        C                            G
And I wrote until I sprained my stupid brain
          G                            Am
Well you know that there's a reason I made this up so fast
     C
I though I'd never get a chance to say

[Pre-Chorus]
G   D/F#     Em     E         Am
What's on my mind, I'm never kind
                         C                    D
When my vocabulary's secondary to a bottle of wine

[Chorus]
                 C         D
But I promise I can love you
             G       Em
Just like a man
                     C            D
And I promise I can hold you

Like nobody can

[Interlude]
G D/F# Em - D - C - D

[Verse]
G                                     Am
I never knew the difference between bullshit and sincere
     C                  G
As long as it sounded good

While coming out
        G
And I can't blame it on my father
     Am
He gave me my 1st beer
          C
And he held my head back as I puked it out
G     D/F#     Em    E           Am
What was I saying, there I go playing
                     C
The game I know so well
                                        D
Talking about myself when it should be you

[Chorus]
                      C          D
But I promise I can love you
              G
Just like a man
                      C           D
And I promise I can hold you
                 G
Like nobody can
