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
