It Takes A Man

Em/D D

[Verse]
               Em/D    D             Em/D  D
She locked her fingers and bowed her head
               E7/G#                        G
She said, "I'm late and I'm really scared"
              Em/D B                    Em/D   D
Now you can go     but I hope you stay
              E7/G#            G
I'm gonna keep  it either way

[Chorus]
      G          D             G               D
In my daddy's El Camino in her driveway in the rain
G               D                        A                     G
Starin' through that windshield, I could see my future change
                        D              G                           Bm
And my heart hit like a hammer, and my thoughts were runnin' wild
    A                                           G
Any fool can make a baby, but it takes a man to raise a child

Em/D D

[Verse]
              Em/D  D                   Em/D   D
I laid my head       down on the wheel
                  E7                            G
She said, "I know,  I know it don't seem real"
                   Em/D  D                     Em/D     D
She closed her eyes       but the tears flowed through
                      E7            G
She said, "Don't hate me for lovin' you"

[Chorus]
      G          D             G               D
In my daddy's El Camino in her driveway in the rain
G               D                        A                     G
Starin' through that windshield, I could see my future change
                        D              G                           Bm
And my heart hit like a hammer, and my thoughts were runnin' wild
    A                                           G
Any fool can make a baby, but it takes a man to raise a child

[Bridge]
      Em                                 F#m
Oh, I could not reassure her, I couldn't say what I had planed
         G                            A
Couldn't put three words together, so I just took her hand ---

[Chorus]
      G          D             G               D
In my daddy's El Camino in her driveway in the rain
G               D                        A                     G
Starin' through that windshield, I could see my future change
                        D              G                           Bm
And my heart hit like a hammer, and my thoughts were runnin' wild
    A                                           G
