A5  G5  F5  G5  A5  G5  F5  G5 

A5                G5              F5  G5 
I was taught from much too young 
          A5          G5   F5  G5 
To never give myself away 
            A5              G5      F5  G5 
Yes, I was taught for every secret 
            A5              G5 F5  G5 
There's a price you have to pay 


   A5          G5          F5           G5 
An accident of gender, an accident of birth 
     A5               G5 
That holds me to this point of view 
     F5                 G5 
This time and place on Earth 
              A5          G5  F5  G5 
This time and place on Earth 


    A5             G5   F5   G5 
You ask me how I'm feeling 
        A5            G5    F5  G5 
Well, I only wish you knew 
    A5             G5        F5  G5 
How hard it is for me to share 
            A5                   G5 F5  G5 
Share those kinds of things with you 


     C5               Bb5 
It's not that I don't love you 
     Ab5              Bb5 
It's just I can't connect 
       C5                Bb5 
'Cause I was taught from much too young 
   Ab5              Bb5 
To shine and not reflect 


D5  E5  F5  G5 

     D5    C5      G5 
I'm an accidental man 
     D5    C5      G5 
I'm an accidental man 
     D5    C5      A5  G5  F5  G5 
I'm an accidental man 


    A5            G5     F5  G5 
You ask me if I'm happy 
  A5          G5    F5  G5 
I only wish I knew 
       A5           G5       F5     G5 
'Cause happiness is not something 
       A5              G5  F5  G5 
That I ever learned to do 
     C5              Bb5 
It's not that I'm complaining 
     Ab5              Bb5 
It's all the same to me 
   D5   E5         F5        G5       D5  E5    F5 G5 
If everything that happens, happens accidentally 


     D5    C5      G5 
I'm an accidental man 
     D5    C5      G5 
I'm an accidental man 
     D5    C5      G5 
I'm an accidental man 
     D5    C5      A5 
I'm an accidental man 


G5  A5  E5 

      A5               G5 
I was taught for every secret 
          A5                 E5 
There's a price you have to pay 
      A5                   G5 
I was taught from much too young 
         A5           E5 
To never give myself away 
      A5             G5 
I was born to worthy causes 
      A5                E5 
I was born to take the reins 
      A5                   G5 
I was taught from much too young 
         A5           E5 
To never give myself away

A5  G5  F5  G5  A5  G5  F5  G5 

   A5          G5          F5           G5 
An accident of gender, an accident of birth 
     A5               G5 
That holds me to this point of view 
     F5                 G5 
This time and place on Earth 
              A5          G5  F5  G5 
This time and place on Earth 


   A5          G5          F5           G5 
An accident of gender, an accident of birth 
     A5               G5 
That holds me to this point of view 
     F5                 G5 
This time and place on Earth 
              A5          G5  F5  G5 
This time and place on Earth 


   A5          G5 
So try to understand 
     F5               G5 
If I don't say all I can 
  A5            G5 
A stranger to myself I am 
  F5             G5 
A stranger to myself I am 
  A5            G5         F5  G5 
A stranger to myself I am 
       A5  G5      F5                      G5 
I'm an accidental man (I was taught from much too young) 
   A5  G5      F5   G5           A5           G5    F5  G5 
An accidental man   (to never give myself away) 
     A5             G5        F5  G5  A5  G5  F5  G5 
(You ask me how I'm feeling)
