AJR - Maybe Man

e e e e b , b b b C#4 g#
Wish I was a stone , so I couldn't feel
e f# f# f# f# , f# b a g# e
You'd yell in my face , it'd be no big deal
b b b g# e , b b b g# e
But I'd miss the way we make up and smile
b b b b a g# e f# e
Don't want to be stone , I changed my mind

e e e e b , b b b b C#4 g#
I wish I had eyes in the back of my head
f# f# f# f# , f# b a g# e
Then I could see the places I've been
b b b g# e , b b b g# e
But then I would know that you're talkin' s***
b b b b a g# e f# e
I don't wanna know what my friends think

e e e e b , b b C#4 g#
Wish I were my dog out on the lawn
f# f# f# f# , f# f# b a g# e
I'd be so glad when I hear you come home
b b b b g# e , b b b g# e
But if I were my dog , I wouldn't live long
b b b b a g# e f# e
I'm sure gonna miss her when she's gone

e e e e b , b b b b C#4 g#
I wish I could act in a show on TV
f# f# f# f# f# , f# b a g# e
'Cause then I could practice not bein' me
b b b g# e , b b b b g# e
I'll practice my cry , put it into my reel
b b b b a g# e f# e
But you won't believe me when I cry for real

e e e e b , b b b C#4 g#
I wish that my brain would triple in size
e f# f# f# f# , e b a g# e
I'd nail every joke , I'd win every fight
b b b g# e , b b b g# e
But I'd get too deep with that kind of mind
b b b b a g# e f# g#
I don't wanna know the point of life

g# g# g# g# b , b b C#4 g#
In some other life I would be rich
e f# f# f# f# , f# b a g# e
I'd travel in style , I'd cover the bill
b b b g# e , b b b g# e
But couldn't complain 'bout anything small
b b b b a g# e f# e
Nobody'd feel bad for me at all

e e e e b , b b b b C#4 g#
If I was cocaine or a bottle of Jack
f# f# f# f# e , f# b a g# e
I'd get invited to every frat
b b b g# e , b b b b g# e
But when you get old and your good days have passed
b b b a g# e f# g#
You'll only want me when you're sad

e e e e b , b b b C#4 g#
Wish I was a song , your favorite one
e f# f# f# f# , f# b a g# e
You'd follow the dance to me at your prom
b b g# e , b b b b g# e
I would be there when your baby is born
b b b b a g# e f# e
For two or three minutes , then I'm gone

e e e e b , b b b C#4 g#
I wish I was big , as big as my house
e f# f# f# f# , f# b a g# e
I'd sleep on the trees , I'd skip every crowd
b b b g# e , b b b b g# e
But I wouldn't fit on my therapist's couch
b b b a g# e f# e
God , I could really use him now

e e e e b , b b b C#4 g#
I wish I was God , I'd never trip up
f# f# f# f# , f# b a g# e
And if I did , well , so fu***** what?
b b g# e , b b b g# e
I could be cruel and break all your stuff
b b b a g# e f# g#
Yeah , I'd be loved no matter what

g# g# g# g# b , b b b C#4 g#
But if I was God , it'd get kinda weird
f# f# f# f# e , f# f# b a g# e
'Cause you would only say what I wanna hear
b b b g# e , b b b g# e
And then you would die , you'd love me to death
b b b b a g# e f# e
I never know who the hell I am

e e e e b , b b b b c# g#
I wish I was me , whoever that is
f# f# f# f# , f# b a g# e
I could just be and not give a s***
b b b g# e , b b b g# e
Hey , I'll be whatever makes you a fan
b b b a g# e f# e ( e , e )
'Cause I don't know who the hell I am ( Am , am . . . )
