	Em		D			   Am
          Down the corridor is the resonance of sorrow
	 C
        Creeping along the hardwood floor
	Em		D		   Am
        I walk quiet on from where she lay sleeping
                       C
        In the shadow of the pale moon
	Em		D				Am
        I leave a last hand on the crescent of her hip. My promise breath in her ear
                       C                  Em  D  Am
        on another night as I slip away
        Em          D      Am   Em          D      Am   Em          D      Am
        Wanting to be her man, Wanting to be her man, Wanting to be her man.
                Em    D     Am
        Yeah, I send dispatches
                       C
        I'm a good lieutenant that way
	Em		D			   Am
        From lonely stations I make and break promises.
                      C
        The explanations they contain.
	Em		D			   Am
        And I deliver these disapointments with a sorrow
                      C                  Em  D  Am
        that grows deeper and deadly every day.
        Em          D      Am   Em          D      Am   Em          D      Am
        Wanting to be her man, Wanting to be her man, Wanting to be her man.
                Em             G      D                  C
        And I try and I try, I try to make it happen
                Em             G      D                  C
        It's so hard pretending that it don't even matter
        Em  D  C      Em  D  C      Em  D  C
        (instumental bridge)
	Em		D			   Am
        Understand now. Come back she's moving in different patterns
                      C
        She's responding to the constant strain.
	Em		D
        Of fact, fiction and promises
                Am		  C
        to the harsh truths that they contain
                Em			     D 			Am
        So I take care - make less noise when I'm here now                     
        C                     Em  D  Am	C
        that she won't hear me in the hardwood on the nights when I'm gone away
        Em          D      Am   Em          D     Am   Em          D     Am
        Wanting to be her man, Wanting to be her man, Wanting to be her man.
	Em	    D 	   Am
	Wanting to be her man...(fade)
