Good Man Jason Gray

1 Verse:
               C
If you'd asked me at 10 years old 
             F                      C
the man I'd want to be
                       Am
I'd've said Billy Graham or Superman 
            G
or somewhere in between
               C
The hero in the story 
                F                           C
who stands up for what is right
            Am
The kind of guy you want by your side 
         G
if it came down to a fight

Pre-Chorus:
 Am       C                             F              G
Oh oh oh I still wanna be, still wanna be
Am      C               F                     C/G
Oh oh oh I still wanna be that man

2 Verse:
                C
Now I'm 40 years from 10 years old, 
               F                   C
with a history of mistakes
                         Am
Chose that kryptonite so many times
              G
 I'll never wear that cape
                 C
I can't take back all the damage 
             F                          C
that I've left along the way
                     Am
But I can own my sin and make amends 
            G
and try another day

Pre-Chorus:
 Am       C                             F              G
Oh oh oh I still wanna be, still wanna be
Am      C               F                     C/G
Oh oh oh I still wanna be that man

Chorus:
     G                        Am                      F      C 
Strong enough to take a stand, a good man
  G                       Am                  F        C
Not afraid of tenderness, a good man
        G                  Am              F                    C
Heaven can you help me be who I wanna be?
       G                    Am                
Father, can you make that kind 
       F               C
of man out of me?
      G  Am  F  C
A good man,
      G  Am  F  C
A good man.

3 Verse:
                  C
I want to be the kind of man 
                      F                     C
a woman's not afraid to trust
                       Am
The kind of friend you call at 3 AM
                         G
 'cause you know that they'll show up
       C
A man who keeps his word, 
         F                               C
who's known for his integrity
                   Am
When I get it wrong let me be known 
           G
for my apology

Pre-Chorus:
 Am       C                    F                 C
Oh oh oh I still wanna be that man

Chorus:
     G                        Am                      F      C 
Strong enough to take a stand, a good man
  G                       Am                  F        C
Not afraid of tenderness, a good man
        G                  Am              F                    C
Heaven can you help me be who I wanna be?
       G                    Am                
Father, can you make that kind 
       F               C
of man out of me?
      G  Am  F  C
A good man,
      G  Am  F  C
A good man.

Bridge:
          C
I know one day my children 
             F                        C
will stand beside my grave
           Am
If nothing else I hope I leave 
               G
good things for them to say
Am       C                  F                G
Oh oh oh until that day I hope they see
 Am       C                  F                G
Oh oh oh though I stumble I'm still trying to be

Not afraid of tenderness, a good man
        G                  Am              F                    C
Heaven can you help me be who I wanna be?
