[Verse 1]
       D      E       A
I can see you in the park
      D     E       A
At a table set for two
        D   E       F#m
With a baby on the way
        D       E      A
In a maternity jumper suit
        D       E     A
I can smell September air
        D         E           A
As it whispers through your shirt
        D          E    F#m
And disrupts your wavy hair
         D         E       A
It's my favourite kind of look


[Chorus 1]
       D               E
But I won't be at the table
        C#7              D
And we won't be holding hands
    Bm      E        A  D  A
Cuz I won't be your man


[Verse 2]
       D      E       A
I can see you in the car
       D      E         A
In a flower patterned shirt
            D      E       F#m
Trying to find a place to park
           D           E           A
You'll be taking your daughter to work
       D      E            A
And I wonder what she'll think
         D       E         A
Watching others heed your word
        D       E      F#m
As you tell it like it is
     D       E     A
Like only a woman could


[Chorus 2]
       D                 E
But I won't ask how she liked it
        C#7          F#m
Seeing Mommy kicking ass
    Bm      E        A  D  A
Cuz I won't be your man


[Bridge]
         D
I won't cook
          E
I won't clean
         C#7                 F#m
I won't hold you while you sleep
        D                                 E
In the morning you won't wake up holding me


[Verse 3]
N.C.
I can see you at the school
N.C.
On a green suburban lawn
N.C.
Now your baby's all grown up
                                  A
And she's stepping out on her own
            D      E      A
She'll be smiling ear to ear
        D          E       A
In her long black gown and cap
          D          E           F#m
And underneath your tear soaked face
       D                E      A
I can see that you're smiling back


[Chorus 3]
       D                  E
But I won't congratulate her
         C#7             D
Cuz she won't know who I am
      D                 E
And when they call her name out
          C#7              D
I won't whistle from the stands
    D            E
And at the afterparty
         C#7               D
I won't sing one with the band
    D       E        A  D  A
Cuz I won't be your man
