So let me be alone tonight 1
You can't change the way I am 1
Are you strong enough to be my man? 1

[additional slide guitar]
I have a face I cannot show 1
I make the rules up as I go 1
It's try and love me if you can 1
Are you man enough to be my man? 1
1
[Are you strong enough] (to be my man) 1
[are you strong enough] (to be my man) 1
[Are you strong enough] (my man) 1
When I've shown you that I just don't care 1
When I'm throwing punches in the air 1
When I'm broken down and I can't stand 1
Will you be strong enough to be my man? 1

Chord Formations:
The only chord I'm not really sure about is the Bm-chord: it might be
Bm x 2 4 4 3 x where it is possible to pull the finger on the d-string
up to play as I have noted above or
2 2 4 4 3 2 but then the picked part should be
1 2 3 4 5 6
Bm A
E-------------------------|
B-----3---------3-----2---|
G-------------4-----------|
D-----4-----2---------2---|
A-2-------2-------0-------|
E-------------------------| which sounds a bit strange.
Any help, remarks and corrections will be appreciated.
Fuer deutsche Gitarristen: ich habe die englische(?) Notierung verwandt.
Bm ist also zu lesen als h-moll.
