When A Man Gets Down Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]When a [C]man gets [G]down,
[D]he goes out on the[G] town
And he won't [C]come home until the
[G]whole damned night is [D]over
And when that [C]man's out on [G]the town,
[D]he starts looking [G]around
For [C]a pretty face with a
[G]sympathetic [D]shoulder

[Verse 2]
But [Em]he won't talk [G]to me
[Em]He won't talk [G]to me
He won't say [Em]nothin' that [G]might
[D]get him in trouble
[Em]He won't talk [G]to me
[Em]He won't talk to me
[G]He'd rather [Em]sink his lips right
[G]back into the [D]bottle

[Verse 3]
When that [C]man comes [G]home
as [D]the sun doth [G]rise
She [C]cries it out until her [G]tired
eyes are [D]swollen
And when that [C]man lay's [G]down,
in the [D]bed she [G]made
He [C]hides his face [G]deep under
the cov[D]ers

[Verse 4]
[Em]But he won't hold me
[G]It's not whe[Em]re he wants to [G]be
Yet she says [Em]she loves h[G]im
over and [D]over
[Em]He won't hold [G]me
It's not [Em]where he's meant [G]to be
He can [Em]try but in his [G]heart he knows it [D]over
[C][G]

[Verse 5]
She sits and [C]cries it [G]out,
but she [D]don't call no [G]one
She don't [C]want the girls to [G]know
all of their busi[D]ness
'Cause they [C]fall [G]apart
every [D]month or [G]two
Ad it's [C]all good until the storm
[G]clouds shadow [D]over

[Verse 6]
I wanna wake [Em]him u[G]p
I wanna [Em]shake him [G]down
Show him we [Em]can get to the p[G]lace
back where we star[D]ted[Em][G]
[Em]But [G]he's got[Em]ta talk to m[G]e[Em][G][Em][G]
