E7#9
Well my pad is very messy 
And there's whiskers on my chin 
And I'm all hung up on music 
And I always play to win 
I ain't got no time for lovin' 
Cause my time is all used up 
Just to sit around creatin' 
All that groovy kind of stuff 

[chorus:]  
           |G         |F#        F             |E7#9       | E7#9
     (I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so)
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
           |G         |F#        F             |E7#9       | E7#9
     (I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so)
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so

[verse: 2]
E7#9
Well if I had my choice of matter {background vocals start here}
I would rather be with cats 
All engrossed in mental chatter 
Moving where our minds are at 
And relating to each other 
Just how strong our wills can be 
I'm resisting all involvement 
With each groovy chick we see 
But love you so. 
 
[chorus:]  {repeat}

[verse: 3]
E7#9
I got to keep my image         {background vocals start here}
While suspended from a throne 
That looks out upon a kingdom 
Full of people all unknown 
Who imagine I'm not human 
And my heart is made of stone 
I never had no problems 
And my toilet's trimmed with chrome 
 
[chorus:]  {repeat}

[coda:] {same number of measures as verse}
E7#9
{ ad lib }

|G    |F#   F  |E7#9  | E7#9 |
