CAPO 1
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
You had your own way one too many times and now
G
You`re going to find out what it`s like
F
Just what it`s like, now you`re a mess
G
You wanted something you could never possess
G
You went your own way one too many nights
G
You treated her like some small oversight
F
What in the world makes her think that she can
G
Turn you from a playboy into a man
[Chorus]
Em
She`s going to make you suffer tonight
F G
To turn you from a playboy into a man
Em
And when you`re worthy of her then she might
F G
Turn you from a playboy into a man
[Verse 2]
G
You thought you were the answer to her prayers
G
The perfect gift that every girl prefers
F G
But that`s the trouble `cos every girl still thinks you`re hers
G
So there you are with your gold chains jangling
G
Your lucky charms and jewelry dangling
F
But when she saw you she turned and ran
G
To turn you from a playboy into a man
[Chorus]
Em
She`s going to make you suffer tonight
F G
To turn you from a playboy into a man
Em
And when you`re worthy of her then she might
F G
Turn you from a playboy into a man
F G
Turn you from a playboy into a man
[Verse 3]
G
You couldn't see that the juvenile things you do
G
Would drag you down and now that the joke`s on you
F
You`re pretty cold you end as you start
G
When your facade isn't falling apart
G
So now you`re standing in your underwear
G
Well now you know just how it feels for her
F
You`re halfway there you know that she can turn you from a
G
Playboy into a man
[Chorus]
Em
She`s going to make you suffer tonight
F G
To turn you from a playboy into a man
Em
And when you`re worthy of her then she might
F G
Turn you from a playboy into a man
F G
Turn you from a playboy into a man
F G
Turn you from a playboy into a man
