BRIDGE
E         F#m        E       F#m
He makes her fall, face down into the pillow
E           F#m      E             F#m
Climbing the wall, weeping like a weeping willow
E            F#m   E
Hands her a tissue he's already used 
 
Just like a man, just like a man
Dragging her under for everything he'll never be
Ripping her asunder, said he didn't really love her anyway
Well, forgive him, forgive him
 
Instrumental section
 
Just like a man, thrashing out blindly way out of his depth
Just like a fool, there's no device he won't employ
He even cries like a little boy

Well, forgive him, forgive him  Forgive him
  D           A    D           A
Just like a man, just like a man
Just like a man, just like a man
