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

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

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

 Bm                 F#m
   Stand up now and face the sun.
 E                       A        A₇
   Won’t hide my tail or turn and run.
 Bm
   It’s time to do what must be done:
 C#                  C#₇
   To be a king when kingdom comes.

      Go ahead and tell everybody.

      I’m the man, I’m the man, I’m the man.

      Yes, I am; yes, I am; yes, I am.
    E                      D
      I’m the man, I’m the man, I’m the man.

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

D             A
It’s a thin line between love and hate.
Bm            A
Is you really real, or is you really fake?
E₇       F#m                 E
I’m a soldier standing on my feet;
         D
No surrender,
              E
And I won’t retreat.
         Bm   F#m
(This is my world.)

 Bm                 F#m
   Stand up now and face the sun.
 E                       A        A₇
   Won’t hide my tail or turn and run.

   And be a king when kingdom comes.
