Gentle Man

[Intro ]
G    C    G    C 


 
    Am                           G 
Confusion of the world is at an all-time high 
    Am                               G 
No wonder that the heaviness weighs down your mind 
 Em                                A7 
Take your time you're only in the dawn of life 
 Em                     A7 
Grow into yourself and find your stride 

      C                        Am7 
Don't do it for your father or someone else's creed 
      C                       A7 
Don't do it for your mother, don't do it for me 
 

 
      C                    G 
When bravado's at its crescendo 
     Em           C              G 
It's easy to get lost inside the echo 

      Em 
Desperado's just a song 
         C 
You can turn it off and on 
         G                            D 
Build a better home on your father's land 

         C            F             C 
All you need to do before you understand 

         G         C    G    C 
Is be a gentle man 
 

 
       Am                                  G 
Don't blur the lines between yourself and your mistakes 
    Am7                           G 
Try not to feel so bad about the good old days 
        Em7                             A7 
There's not some sacred promise you're gonna break 
Em7                                  A 
Don't you know you've always been allowed to change 

        C                        Am 
You're strong without the armor you've been living in 
   C                       A7 
Untangling the only story you've been fed 
 

 
      C                    G 
When bravado's at its crescendo 
     Em           C              G 
It's easy to get lost inside the echo 

      Em 
Desperado's just a song 
         C 
You can turn it off and on 
         G                            D 
Build a better home on your father's land 

         C 
All you need to do before you understand 

         G        G7   C 
Is be a gentle man 
         G         C 
Is be a gentle man 
 

 
D              B7                       Em     E  Edim 
  You're afraid   if you change they'll go away 
Em             C 
Oh and if they do 
D7                     G        C     G     C 
   You don't need them anyway
