The Man On Stage

Intro 
(Tuning sounds) 


[Verso 1]
 
Dm               Eb                  Cm7 
I am the man on stage slurring your favourite songs 
Dm               Eb               Cm7 
Making up a few of the words as I go along 
Dm                     Eb 
Taking the edge off of me 
      Bb                   Ab                      Bb            F  
Is a necessity when I'm singing these words that I no longer mean 
 


[Refrão]
 
Bb                      Gm7 
I am not a poet, I'm a broken heart 
                 Cm7                                            
And though you didn't dispute it, I don't really play the part 
Bb                        Gm7 
I am not dishonest, I'm a lost detail 
        Cm7                                   
Leaving out the good words to hide my trail 

Bb                       Gm7 
I am not singing this to comfort you 
          Cm7 
Though my words aren't daggers, I'm just telling the truth 
     Bb                      Gm7 
That I am not a poet, I'm a broken heart 
                Cm7 
And though you didn't dispute it, I don't really play the part 
 

Outro 
Bb                     Gm7           Cm7 
I am not a poet, I'm a broken heart 
Bb                     Gm7           Cm7 
I am not a poet, I'm a broken heart

I am not a poet, I'm a broken heart

I am not a poet, I'm a broken heart
