Lyrics

Intro a d a a d a e
A d a d e
Just like a man, flexing his muscle and not really usin' it
A d a d e f#m
Just like a fool, making her suffer and stuffing her feelings with cotton wool
D a f#m d a f#m e
Well, forgive him, forgive him

A d e
Just like a man, carrying a picture but seeing in the negative
A d e f#m
Just like a fool, all double standards baby do this but never do that
D a f#m d a f#m d a f#m e
Well, forgive him, forgive him, forgive him

Bridge
E f#m e f#m
He makes her fall, face down into the pillow
E f#m e f#m
Climbing the wall, weeping like a weeping willow
E f#m e
Hands her a tissue he's already used

Just like a man, just like a man
Dragging her under for everything he'll never be
Ripping her asunder, said he didn't really love her anyway
Well, forgive him, forgive him

Instrumental section

Just like a man, thrashing out blindly way out of his depth
Just like a fool, there's no device he won't employ
He even cries like a little boy
E c#m a
Well, forgive him, forgive him forgive him
D a d a
Just like a man, just like a man
Just like a man, just like a man
