[G] [C] [G] [C]
[G] We've both seen enough of wrong and right
We [C] know everything's not black and white
[G] There's always something in be[C]tween.
No [G] matter how long or well you live
You [C] don't get anything you don't give
[G] Still no slate is [C] clean [C/B]
[Am] For better or worse anybody can
Take a [D] look around and find a better man
[Am] Upright no matter how he's faring
[C] No matter what kind of shoes he's wearing
[G]The shoe's he's wearing, [C] they don't make the [G] man. [C]
[G] So many people out running around
[C] Handicapped before they hit the ground
[G]Thinking there's nowhere to [C] go
[G] Shouldn't we all be looking for ways
To [C] keep on seeing our better days
[G] We're not chained to what we [C] know [C/B]
But if your [Am] eyes are open and your mind is free
[D] There's no telling what a man can be
[Am] Upright no matter how you're faring
[C] No matter what kind of shoes you're wearing
[G]The shoe's you're wearing, [C] they don't make the [G] man.
But if [Em] you [D] can't [G] walk in the [D] best of times
and the worst of times
[C] Find your feet still walking the line
[D] You'll never carry the load worth bearing
[C] No matter what kind of shoes you're wearing
The shoes you're [G] wearing, [C] they don't make the [G] man. [C]
The shoes you're [G] wearing, [C] they won't make the [G] man. [C]
[G] [C] [G] [C] {to end}
