The Man I Might Have Been

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh

Verse 1

They call me when the roof comes down

I am the steady hand the quiet ground

Nobody asks how the ground feels at night

I just fix it all and dim the light

Pre-Chorus

When was the last time I chose for me

When was the last time I let something be

Chorus

Does anybody know the man I might have been

Does anybody know him

The one who wandered off where the road bends

Does anybody know the man I might have been

Verse 2

There was a map I drew in twenty-three

A guitar I sold so someone else could eat

I postponed the journey and forgot the dream

Now the years move slow like a quiet stream

Pre-Chorus

When was the last time I chose for me

When was the last time I let something be

Chorus

Does anybody know the man I might have been

Does anybody know him

The one who wandered off where the road bends

Does anybody know the man I might have been

Bridge

If I met him now on a street somewhere

Would I know his face would I even care

I don't think I'd recognize my own younger eyes

He'd be a stranger I somehow recognize

Chorus

Does anybody know the man I might have been

Does anybody know him

The one who wandered off where the road bends

Does anybody know the man I might have been

(The man I might have been)

Does anybody know him

Outro

Mm

Still here

Still warm

Mm
