Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

She locked her fingers and bowed her head

She said I'm late, and I'm really scared

You can go but I hope you stay

I'm gonna keep it either way

In my daddy's El Camino, in her driveway in the rain

Staring through the windshield I could see my future change

And my heart hit like a hammer and my thoughts were running wild

I laid my head down on the wheel

She said I know, I know, it don't seem real

She closed her eyes, but the tears flowed through

She said don't hate me for lovin you

Chorus

Bridge

Well I could not reassure her

I couldn't say what I had planned

I couldn't put three words together

So I just took her hand

Chorus

It takes a man
