Intro: A E | F#m E | B C#m | B A

Chorus:
    A                    E
      Well, you can tell everybody.
    F#m                  E
      Yeah, you can tell everybody.
    B                   C#m
      Go ahead and tell everybody.
    B                      A
      I’m the man, I’m the man, I’m the man.
    B                   C#m
      Yes, I am; yes, I am; yes, I am.
    B                      A
      I’m the man, I’m the man, I’m the man.

A               E                 F#m
I believe every lie that I ever told,
               E
Paid for every heart
               B
That I ever stole;
            C#m                  B
I played my cards and I didn’t fold.
                    A
Well, it ain’t that hard
               B
When you got soul.
         F#m  C#m
(This is my world.)

A                     E            F#m
Somewhere I heard that life is a test.
                      E
I’ve been through the worst,
                      B
But I still give my best.
            C#m                       B
God made my mold different from the rest,
                   A
Then He broke that mold,
                 B
So I know I’m blessed.
         F#m  C#m
(This is my world.)

 F#m                C#m
   Stand up now and face the sun.
 B                       E        E₇
   Won’t hide my tail or turn and run.
 F#m
   It’s time to do what must be done:
 G#                  G#₇
   To be a king when kingdom comes.

Chorus:

      Go ahead and tell everybody.
    B                      A
      I’m the man, I’m the man, I’m the man.

    B                      A
      I’m the man, I’m the man, I’m the man.
    B                   C#m
      Yes, I am; yes, I am; yes, I am.
    B                      A
      I’m the man, I’m the man, I’m the man.

A             E
I got all the answers to your questions.
F#m                  E
I’ll be the teacher; you could be the lesson.
F#m                   C#m
I’ll be the preacher; you be the confession.
B                   A
I’ll be the quick relief
                 B
To all your stressing.
         F#m  C#m
(This is my world.)

A             E
It’s a thin line between love and hate.
F#m           E
Is you really real, or is you really fake?
B₇       C#m                 B
I’m a soldier standing on my feet;
         A
No surrender,
              B
And I won’t retreat.
         F#m  C#m
(This is my world.)

 F#m                C#m
   Stand up now and face the sun.
 B                       E        E₇
   Won’t hide my tail or turn and run.
 F#m
   It’s time to do what must be done
 G#                   G#₇
   And be a king when kingdom comes.
