Intro: G, Am, C, D, G,


Verse 1:
G                                       Am
I was supposed to be the rock you could stand on
C                        G        D
Stronger than an old oak tree
G                               Am
But all you ever wanted was the one thing
                C       D              G
I never let you see The tender side of me
Em                       C
I tried to be a mountain solid and strong
       G
All it took was your leavin'
   D               N/C
To know I was wrong

Chorus:
D           G        C
A man ain't made of stone
                    G
A man ain't made of steel
                     D
The way I feel right now
  C                 G
I thought I'd never feel
                 C                   D     G
Sometimes all it takes is facing the night alone
                    C
And that's when you know
  D                 G
A man ain't made of stone

Am C D G

Verse 2:
G                                           Am
In this world of mine there was no room for weakness
  C                          G      D
I covered every crack in the wall
          G                                 Am
But there ain't no way that I can keep this secret
C                        D         G
'Cause when you go, like Jerico, I fall
Em
You thought I wouldn't shatter
        C
Would I even care
            G
But there's more to what I'm made of
          D
Than this broken heart can bear

Chorus
G                C                   D     G
Sometimes all it takes is facing the night alone
                C
That's when you know
  D                 G
A man ain't made of stone
                    C
And that's when you know
  D                 G
A man ain't made of stone
