INNER MAN

Am Em7
There are choices to be made - voices in your head

Forces keeping you from know who your are
C G G#dim
There?s the pride of being you - if you keep it you will loose
Am Em Am
and the Inner Man cries out for eyes to see
cbaga

Listen - what I have to say friend you can?t deny
here the crying of your soul - let me go
There?s that feeling deep inside - understand it won?t you try
As the Inner Mann knocks at the door to see -
yes your Inner mann cries out for eyes to see - 120
