        A MAN AIN'T MADE OF STONE     Randy Travis



         G#                                  A#m              

I was suppose to be the rock that you could stand on

  C#                      G# 

Stronger than an old oak tree

     G#                         A#m 

But all you ever wanted was the one thing

                 C#                    G# 

I never let you see The tender side of me

Fm                              C# 

I just tried to be a mountain solid and strong

       Fm                        C#          D#  

All it took was your leaving to know I was wrong



CHORUS:

D#                   C#                         G# 

A man ain't made of stone A man ain't made of steel

G#                   Fm                       G# 

The way I feel right now I thought I'd never feel

                  C#                        Fm 

Sometimes all it takes is facing the night alone

                     C#    D#                  G#   

And that's when you know a man ain't made of stone







G#                                            A#m

In this world of mine there was no room for weakness

     C#                       G#

I covered every crack in the wall

G#                                            A#m

But there ain't no way that I can keep this secret

       C#                        G#

Cause when you go like Jerico I fall

Fm                                      C#

You thought I wouldn't shatter Would I even care

             Fm                                  C#             D# 

But there's more to what I'm made of then this broken heart can bear



Chorus, lead

                  C#                        Fm

Sometimes all it takes Is facing the night alone

                 C#     D#                 G#

That's when you know a man ain't made of stone

                 C#     D#                G# 

That's when you know a man ain't made of stone
