Verse 1
G

A man's gotta be strong,

though the love he need is gone

I said a man's gotta be strong,

though the love he need is gone
D

So thanks, but no thanks,
C
G

don't give me sympathy
D

This hurt I'll stand, I'll stand my ground,
C

please don't pity me
G
D

A man in love, a girl I'm true
G

All my dreams have fallen through
D

When my friends try to help me,

they rush right to my side
G

I turn away their helping hands

because of my pride
Em

When your love has left you,

it hurts to be a man
C

Though you wanna kneel and cry,

you know that you must stand
Em
G

Though my heart, it hurts me so
C

I can't let it show
Eb
G
D

I know I was waiting alone
C
G

Oh yeah, alone
D

So thanks, but no thanks,
C

don't give me sympathy
G
D
C

This hurt I'll stand, cause I'm a man of few,
G

don't you need me
D

Hurt is here, love is gone
G

There's emptiness, I'm all alone
D

She promised that she'd love

me more with every day
G

When my heart believed in

her that's when she went away
Em

My heart is full of sorrow

because love has gone
C

Now I know the feeling of being all alone
Em
D

But a man has got to be strong
G
C

Though he hurts inside
Eb
G
D

Only in darkness do I rise
C
G

My tears I must hide
D
C

So please, don't thank me
G

This hurts
D
C
G
D

I'm standing, standing tall

Proud and high
C
G

While my heart hurts much inside
D

As I slowly walk away
G

My friends understand, they want to help,

but they accept the feelings of a man
Em

He must keep going,

don't feel he can't drown
C

He may be down without a sound,

but never count him out
Em
D
G

Cause the man will rise one day,
C

he'll find a way
Eb
G
D

Till then I'm a -spoken alone
C
G

I won't be alone
D

So thanks, but no thanks
C

Don't get me sympathy
G

Just heard I'll stand cause I'm a man
C

Oh please don't pity me

I'm a man

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
