INtro - G - Gsus - G - Gsus 



(verse 1)
G          D                      Em - C
I saw some old friends the other day
G                    D
and all they could talk about 
    Em              C
was how I?ve changed
 Em                      D 
They thought I?d be the last one 
C                D
to ever settle down
Em                       D
They can?t believe I?m flying so high
     C                    D
with both feet on the ground



(chorus)
G        D        Em7           C
You make me wanna be, a better man,
G        D        Em7             C
You make me wanna do, the best I can,
Em                  D
I feel a little stronger,
      G         D       C
Every time you hold my hand,
G        Em7      D             G
You make me wanna be, a better man,


(verse 2)
Now there was a time,
When I ran wild as the Texas wind,
Never slowing down enough,
To ever let that party end,
Oh then your love surrounded me,
Like a shelter from the storm ,
oh baby you believed in me,
Like no one has before, and,


(chorus)
G        D        Em7           C
You make me wanna be, a better man,
G        D        Em7             C
You make me wanna do, the best I can,
Em                  D
I feel a little stronger,
      G         D       C
Every time you hold my hand,
G        Em7      D             G
You make me wanna be, a better man,




(bridge)
Em                     Bm
And you know sometimes I stumble
  C              G
Yeah, everybody does
Em                               Bm
But you keep me reaching for the man I can be
C                  D
And not the man I was.....



(lead - G - D - Em7 - C = 2x's)



(ending)
Em                  D
I feel a little stronger,
      G         D       C
Every time you hold my hand,
G                 D             G
You make me wanna be, a better man,
          Em       G         D
Oh, Baby, you make me wanna be
           G
a better man
