Man of My Word (Stripped Back) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]I ca[B]n't [Em]seem[B] to[Em] get away
from carving stones with everything I [Am]say
Sometimes I speak out of [Em]turn[Am]
Sometimes I just can't [Em]hold my tongue
And some[B]times I don't mean
a single [Em]word
Every time I take a breath and look up at where
I am its [Am]iron bars and concrete [Em]walls
[Am]Every time I speak it's a [Em]life sentence
[B]And I'm bound until the hangman [Em]calls
[Am]I no longer wanna be
[Em]a man of my word
Cuz [Am]often time my words
they'll lie [Em]to me
They'll [Am]sign my name by the x
[Em]Cross my t's and double check
And [B]dot my I's and then they'll dry the [Em]ink
I can't seem to find my feet
I stumble every time I [Am]speak
Maybe it's best I [Em]plead the fifth
I'll shut [Am]my mouth I don't wanna
[Em]step on any toes
And that [B]way I can break no promises
[Em]I can't stay locked away
A prisoner of every word [Am]I say
Burnin in my pocket is [Em]the key[Am]
Gotta piss some [Em]people off
Cuz no you can't [Am]please them all
[B]Oh, the truth will set you[Em] free
[Am]I no longer wanna be
[Em]a man of my word
[Am]Cuz often time my words
they'll lie [Em]to me
[Am]They'll sign my name by the x
Cross [Em]my t's and double check
And dot [B]my I's and then they'll dry [Em]the ink
I [Am]no longer wa[Em]nna be[A] a man
[Am]of my word
Cuz often time my words they'll
lie [Em]to me[Am]
They'll sign my name by the x
[Em]Cross my t's and double check
And [B]dot my I's and then they'll
dry the [Em]ink
They'll sign [Am]my name by the x
[Em]Cross my t's and double check
And [B]dot my I's and then
they'll dry [Em]the ink
Yeah they'll [B]dot my I's and
then they'll dry [Em]the ink
Said, they'll [B]dot my I's and
then they'll dry the [Em]ink
