Capo 1 
 
               D 
She locked her fingers and bowed her head 
             Bm                   G 
She said I'm late, and I'm really scared 
        D 
You can go but I hope you stay 
          Bm             G   
I'm gonna keep it either way 

[Refrão]
      D                         G               D  
In my daddy's El Camino, in her driveway in the rain 
D                                      A             G 
Staring through the windshield I could see my future change 
A      D                              G                     Bm 
And my heart hit like a hammer and my thoughts were running wild 
    A                                G              D  
Any fool can make a baby, it takes a man to raise a child 
 
 
I laid my head down on the wheel 
She said I know, I know, it don't seem real 
She closed her eyes, but the tears flowed through 
She said don't hate me for lovin you 
 
 
Chorus 
 
 
Bridge: 
       Em  
Well I could not reassure her 
           D/F# 
I couldn't say what I had planned 
           G 
I couldn't put three words together 
   A      Asus2 A 
So I just       took her hand 
 
Chorus 
 
It takes a man
