D    E7    A


[Verse 1]
    A           D           A
The king of the jungle is a lion
                         E7             A
But you kill his freedom once he's in a cage
              D            A
A man needs a woman he can lean on
                    E7           A
Not one to turn his life page by page


[Verse 2]
       A               D               A
If you don't believe a lemon's bitter, try one
                        E7                    A
If it doesn't suit your taste, then throw it away
                   D               A
If you only want a puppet, then go buy one
                   E7             A
If that's how it is, then I can't stay


[Chorus]
       A N.C.    D N.C.        A
'cause every man wants to be a free man
                       D              A
Not one that's tied to bonds of jealousy
                       D                 A
So if you're afraid of losing me, you'll lose me
    D       A
But not to love
D      A
But to fear
    D                              E7             A
The fear that I might be the man I really want to be

[Verse 3]
A#               D#            A#
I know you don't understand my every move
                          F7            A#
And, at times, I wish you wouldn't even try
                D#             A#
All you need to know is that I love you
             F7            A#
And I will until the day I die


[Chorus]
    A# N.C.   D# N.C.       A#
But every man wants to be a free man
                       D#             A#
Not one that's tied to bonds of jealousy
                       D#                A#
So if you're afraid of losing me, you'll lose me
    D#      A#
But not to love
D#     A#
But to fear
    D#                             F7             A#
The fear that I might be the man I really want to be


[Outro]

D#  A#
    D#                             F7             A#
The fear that I might be the man I really want to be
