The Man I Used To Be
Recorded by Boxcar Willie
Written by Larry Kingston 
 
C           F      C
I’m no hero I'm no saint
 
But in her eyes no man has ever
      D7          G7
Stood so tall and straight
                C        F            C
And I've always wondered what a woman does
                 F        C
When she finally sees her man
           G7                 C
Is not the man she thought he was
 
  F     C       F             C
I never was the man I used to be
 
Her loving eyes could only see
         D7            G7
What she wanted him to see
          C
She saw a knight in shinning armor
    F              C
But Lord he wasn’t me
  F     C       G7            C
I never was the man I used to be
 
                 F           C
Now she tells me I've really changed
 
And the disappointment on her face
D7              G7
Almost makes me ashamed
         C        F              C
I try to tell her I'm still just me
            F       C       G7               C
And I never was the man she thinks I used to be
 
Repeat #2
 
 
She saw a knight in shinning armor
    F              C
But Lord he wasn’t me
  F     C       G7            C
I never was the man I used to be
