I'm supposed to shake his hand and walk off smiling

     C                                      G7
Make believe that you don't mean a thing to me

    C                 C7         F
I'm supposed to offer my congratulations

        C                G7              C
But I'm not the man that I'm supposed to be


                     C7              F
I'm supposed to make believe I won't miss you

    C                                  G7
And forget the times you held me tenderly

    C                    C7             F
I'm supposed to tell the world it never happened

        C                G7              C
But I'm not the man that I'm supposed to be


    F                                    C
I'd rather stand up and fight for what's mine

       D7                                 G7
And to give you up it's just too much for me

      C                 C7                F
So if I don't shake his hand and come out fighting

         C                G7              C
Then I'm not the man that I'm supposed to be


                        C7                F
So if I don't shake his hand and come out fighting

     C           G7                  C
Then I'm not the man I'm supposed to be
