Phil Joel - The Man You Want Me To Be Chords & Tabs

D5
I played the fool so long
thought I was so strong
A#5                              F5
all the while You knew it wasn't true
D5
rerunning in my mind
memories of another time
A#5
when all I ever lived for
F5
was You

Chorus 
D5
Jesus
            A#5                     F5
make me the man that You want me to be
D5
Jesus
            A#5                     F5
make me the man that You want me to be

I've been listening all my life
words are spoken all the time
I have heard the liars and the true
voices twisting in the air
sweetly sounding so unclear
but nothing can replace a word
from You

Chorus 
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/p/phil_joel/the_man_you_want_me_to_be_crd.html ]
a child is but for so long
turn around those days are gone
nothing can replace the years of youth
I have swallowed lies
that tasted true
the plans I thought were sent from You
when all You wanted was for me
to be still

Jesus
make me the man that You want me to be
Jesus
make me the man You want to see

[ I'll put the solo up later when I feel like it, it's pretty simple though ]


                   A#5
the burning in the heart
               F5
of our deepest desire
                 C5
is rising like a flame
                   D5
burning higher and higher
               A#5
burning in the heart
               F5
of our deepest desire
           C5
is to know You
the burning in the heart
of our deepest desire
is rising like a flame
burning higher and higher
burning in the heart
of our deepest desire
is to know You (Jesus)
the burning in the heart
of our deepest desire
is rising like a flame
burning higher and higher
burning in the heart
of our deepest desire
is to know You (yeah)
