intro: G C G C  (Lick 1 x2) 

G 
I could say it's all her fault 
 
She never had any patience at all 
       C 
I'm a complicated guy 
                            G 
And she didn't try to understand 
 
(Lick 2) 
 

G 
I could claim I had nothing to do 
 
With the fact that I'm lonesome and blue 
          C                  D 
But that wouldn't be true 
                 G 
I'm a self made man 

Refr?o -------------
      C                G/B 
Yeah I'm the one that fooled around  
     Am               G 
And let the one that loved me down 
     C              G/B                 D4  D 
And she had more of me than she could stand 
C             G/B        
I blamed everyone but me  
    Am                 G  
But now that it's too late I see 
   Am            G/B       C 
Nobody helped me get where I am 
       D         G    
I'm a self made man
--------------------
(Lick 1 x1) 
 
I could blame it on the way I was raised 

Or I could say that I was just too afraid 

To let my heart in somebody else's hands 

(Lick 2) 

I could always make one more excuse 

but in the end, what's the use 

I might as well face, I'm a self made man 
 
repeat chorus 
 
Lead 
( C G/B Am G C G/B ) 
 
D4 D  C             G/B        
woa--,   I blamed everyone but me  
    Am                 G  
But now that it's too late I see 
   Am            G/B       C 
Nobody helped me get where I am 
       D         G    
I'm a self made man
