G                                    D 
It's taken me some time to read, the writing on the wall 
                                     C                 G 
But I have finally figured out, just what's been going on 
                                                             C 
And I need to tell you what I've learned, before you turn to go 
                          G            D                G 
There's things about that other man, I think you should know. 
 
Chorus: 
    C                                     G 
The Man That Came Between Us, was lookin' out for number one 
          C                                G                   D 
He didn't care how bad he hurt you, by the selfish things he'd done 
    G                              C 
But lookin' in the mirror today, I finally came to see 
    G                D           C   G D G 
The Man That Came Between Us Was Me. 
 

G                                   D 
I know I'm sorry don't make up, for half the tears you've cried 
                                  C                   G 
And I can't promise miracles, but I swear to God I'll try 
                                                             C 
Cause if you'll give me half a chance, I'll treat you like I should 
                        G 
Honey your lovin' man's come home again 
         D                   G 
And that stranger's gone for good. 
 
Chorus: 
    C                                     G 
The Man That Came Between Us, was lookin' out for number one 
          C                                G                   D 
He didn't care how bad he hurt you, by the selfish things he'd done 
    G                              C 
But lookin' in the mirror today, I finally came to see 
    G                D           G    
The Man That Came Between Us Was Me. 
C             G                D           C   G D G 
Oh honey, The Man That Came Between Us Was Me.
