[Intro]
Gm
I buried my heart in a hole in the ground
With the lights and the roses and the cowards down-town
They threw me a party,
there was no one around
They tried to call my girl but she could not be found
[Verse 1]
Gm
I buried my guilt in a pit in the sand
With the rust and the vultures and the trash downtown
So don't step to me, kid,
you'll never be found
Cause while you were sleeping,
I took over your town
[Chorus]
Gm A#
When I see a man, I see a lion
When I see a man, I see a lion
You're the apple of my eye,of my eye,
of my eye
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye,
won't ya
I fell
[Verse 2]
Gm
for a girl with a portwine stain
I knew her initials but never her name
I tried and I tried and I was never the same
So no longer through love and I'm forever changed
Gm
When I see
[Chorus]
A#
a man, I see a lion
When I see a man, I see a lion
You're the apple of my eye,of my eye,
of my eye
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye,
won't ya
Give up my money, give up my name,
take it away
I'll give it away, I'll give it away,
I'll give it
When I see a man, I see a lion
When I see a man, I see a lion
A
When I see
[Verse 3]
Gm
a man, I see a lion
When I see a man, I see a lion
You're the apple of my eye,of my eye,
of my eye
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye,
won't ya
Give up my money, give up my name,
take it away
I'll give it away, I'll give it away,
I'll give it
I'm a sycophantic animal,
I'm a sycophantic animal,
I'm a sycophantic animal
Break up the chain,
I'll break up the chain,
I'll break it
Give it away,
I'll give it away,
I'll give it
When I see a man, I see a lion
When I see a man, I see a lion
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye,
of my eye
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye,
won't ya
Give up my money, give up my name,
take it away
Give it away, give it away, I'll give it
See you again, I'll see you again,
I'll see ya
Give it away, I'll give it away,
I'll give it
[Chorus]
A#
When I see a man, I see a lion
When I see a man, I see a lion
You're the apple of my eye,of my eye,
of my eye
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye,
won't ya
Give up my money, give up my name,
take it away
See you again, I'll see you again,
I'll see ya
[Outro]
A#
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye,
of my eye
You're the apple of my eye, of my eye,
won't ya
