PERFECT MAN

Composed by Michael

(G)I tri(D)ed to be a (C)perfect man
(G)I tried to (D)find myself (C)away I ran
(Em)Though on the (D)outside I was(A)
Smiling still, was (C)soon revealed
(Em)Deep down (D)in my heart I was (A)sorry filled
(C)And my heart cried (B)out for truth.

Chorus:
You know I (E)tried the best I could
(A)Guess my (Am)best was never (E)very good
How I (E)so longed to be free
(A)What (Am)could it be that's (E)blinding me?

(G)All my (D)life I used to (C)wonder why
(G)To pro(D)tect myself I (C)lived a lie
(Em)I would (D)even put on a (A)different face
To (C)hide the disgrace
(Em)I would (D)even go by a (A)different name
To (C)run from all the (B)shame.

Chorus:
You know I (E)tried the best I could
(A)Guess my (Am)best was never (E)very good
How I (E)so longed to be free
(A)What (Am)could it be that's (E)blinding me,
Blinding me(A)-(Am)-(E)

(G)Now I (D)know that there's a (C)better way
(G)I know (D)it will bring a (C)better day
(Em)I have (D)put aside the (A)broken dreams
What I (C)wanted to be
(Em)Now I (D)see that it's the (A)Lord in me
(C)That has set me (B)free
And I no (E)longer wonder why
(A)To pro(Am)tect myself I (E)lived a lie
The perfect (E)man I tried to be
(A)I see (Am)now no longer (E)needs to be
(A)-(Am)-(E)The perfect man I tried to be
(D)-(A)-(Am)-(E)The perfect man I tried to be
