The Man That Is Me Chords & Lyrics - Jim Croce

[INTRO]
[A] [D] [A]

[VERSE 1]
I'm a [D]dreamer by nature
[G]And I've always been tryi[D]n'
To dream myself out of this w[E]orld that I'm in[A]
In my d[D]reams I escape all the tr[G]oubles arou[D]nd
And it h[D]asn't cost a penny
For the pl[A]easures I've fo[D]und [A7]

[CHORUS]
[D]What is the part
[G]That I'll play today
[A]Beggar, a bus'ness man, k[G]ing for a da[D]y?
I've p[D]layed many parts
And I'm the f[G]irst to agree
That I'm s[A]till lookin' round for the man that is me [D] [A]

[VERSE 2]
I'm a d[D]reamer by nature
[G]And I've always be[D]en
L[D]ooking for something not there[A7] [A]
My f[D]inancial position
[G]Don't bother my dreams [D]
'Cause in f[D]airy tale money
I'm my o[A]wn millionaire [D] [A]

[CHORUS]
[D]What is the part
[G]That I'll play today
[A]Beggar, a bus'ness man, k[G]ing for a da[D]y?
I've p[D]layed many parts
And I'm the f[G]irst to agree
That I'm st[A]ill lookin' round for the man that is me [D] [A]

[VERSE 3]
[D]I'm a rich man in dreams
But in [G]real life I've hi[D]d
From the [D]fact that I've got me a w[E]ife and a k[A]id
If I [D]lose what I've got
[G]Then they lose it to[D]o
Tell me [D]what in this world's a poor d[A]reamer to do[D] [A]

[CHORUS]
[D]What is the part
[G]That I'll play today
[A]Beggar, a bus'ness man, k[G]ing for a da[D]y?
I've p[D]layed many parts
And I'm the f[G]irst to agree
That I'm st[A]ill lookin' round for the man that is me
