Capo 1 
 
               D5 
She locked her fingers and bowed her head 
             B5                   G5 
She said I'm late, and I'm really scared 
        D5 
You can go but I hope you stay 
          B5             G5   
I'm gonna keep it either way 
 
Refr?o -------------
      D5                         G5               D5  
In my daddy's El Camino, in her driveway in the rain 
D5                                      A5             G5 
Staring through the windshield I could see my future change 
A5      D5                              G5                     B5 
And my heart hit like a hammer and my thoughts were running wild 
    A5                                G5              D5  
Any fool can make a baby, it takes a man to raise a child 
--------------------
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: 
       E5  
Well I could not reassure her 
           D5 
I couldn't say what I had planned 
           G5 
I couldn't put three words together 
   A5      A5 A5 
So I just       took her hand 
 
Chorus 
 
It takes a man
