WHAT KIND OF MAN verse/chorus: G C x3 Em D pre-chorus: Am /B C G Bm C Cm outro: G Gaug C Cm don't you decide or make up your mind the sun's left behind when the earth rolls on & i recognize all the words still inside the tears in your eyes so i'll be gone tonight CH. put your heart in my hand what kind of man waits 'til the end? to let it begin & we will suffer again what kind of man (x2) what kind of man... a love-like disease the antitheses & if i say please will you forget? the light of belief reveals stark relief i'm not just a thief not yet...not yet CH.

WE NEVER GET THE HEART WE WANT V: Am F C (/B) PRE: F Am CH: C F C F C F C C OUT: C F C C brave & young when we spoke side by side i kept the shirt that i wore when you cried someday soon all the changes you deny will show through despite what you do to hide PRE & then we will come around our ship come in or run aground the deadly sin the smallest sound will begin... CH we cannot regret & never get the heart we want the ghost of a chance there's nowhere left for it to haunt but i watch you with a loving eye every day is blue & grey when you say goodbye some goodbyes are just retreats through my window to the street i can watch you in defeat & still say... we don't give up yet & never get the heart we want the ghost of a chance there's nowhere left for it to haunt (solo over verse) you don't know me like you should all my faults come across as something good but the truth is not entire i'm not worth being a liar i'm just smoke, i'm no fire i'm no hope... 1st CH 2nd CH OUTRO there's nowhere left for it to haunt...

BR. the waterfall & the old mill they turned when you were born and they are turning still the whispered secret rumour song... it used to strike you dumb but now you sing along now you sing along and freedom is a place out in the fields CH. and underneath the moonlight between the cornrows high they climb down from their bedrooms rubbing sleep from their eyes they lie amongst the green & gold and watch the dark blue sky out in the fields that's where they steal.
