G          Am
Alpha male alright
Bm                C
Born to lead the fight
 G             Em
Not as daft as you might think
     Am                D
When he's been on the drink

G              Am
He's a handsome boy
Bm                  C
Someone's pride and joy

Staring in the dark
        Am           D
A loyal dog about to bark

Talks a lot of sense

He don't sit on the fence


[Verse 4]
 G              Am
Takes it on the chin
 Bm                 C
No matter when he's been
 G                    Em
Thinks he's cool and clandestine
Am                   D
Beneath that perfect skin

That look in his eyes
Bm             C
A consolation prize

What he stops to ask you for

May come as a surprise
