the chords are basically the same.

A
If I was a man

just a simple man
F#m
I didn't know what I wanted from life
D
and I didn't have no plan
A
Would it be enough
E
if all I have was all my love
F#m
would you be OK, would you know how
D
to love me if I wasn't the man I am now oh
Chorus:
A E
I need a miracle to ever make you love me
F#m C#m D
So that you never choose another man above me
F A
If I was a simple man
E
Take a look on you just want that by me
F#m C#m D
I think that you could never see the man inside me
F A
Could you love a simple man?
Verse:
A
If you were a girl
E
just a normal girl
F#m
if you weren't so damn beautiful
D
would this still work

A
Well I know it would, cause what we
E
have is too good to end and though I
F#m
know you pretend that you feel the
D
same and you claim that you never find love again

I need a miracle to ever make you love me

So that you never choose another man above me

Take a look on you just want that by me

D C#m
If I couldn't put a ring on your finger
Bm
I put a roof over your head

If I could only give you love and devotion

Would you still something else instead

A E
I need a miracle to ever make you love me

If I was a simple man
