Intro: C Am 

Verse: 


C                               Am 
Tell me what's the measure of a man 

C                            Am 
Is it to provide all that he can? 

   F                          C 
Or is it just how much he can offer 

   G                             C 
To any willing heart that will receive 

   F                           C         Am 
Or is it just how much you can take from him 

  F       G     C 
before he truly sees? 

Am C Am 


    C                             Am 
And tell me now do you believe in trust? 

    C                            Am 
Cos in my heart this quality's a must 

   F                            C 
to give your heart so truly to someone 

        G                              C 
knowing full well that you might not receive 

   F                           C      Am 
to give your love so freely to someone 

        F                  G         C 
knowing full well that you might not retrieve

               C    G

Take them both they're yours 

              F                  G           C 
but please be careful they're as delicate as you

Verse: 


   C                               Am 
So tell me what's the measure of a man. 

        C                               Am 
Can you find it in the distance that he ran? 

   F                            C 
To give you everything you ever wanted 

   G                               C 
So you would never have to want or need. 

   F                            C          Am 
To give you everything you ever dreamed of babe, 

    F               G            C 
But all it bred was jealousy and greed.

Dm                        G 
   Now you took what you want 

Dm                          G 
   And now you got what you need. 

         C        C7M     Am 
You just kick the lock and leave. 

Dm                   G 
   But then when you find 

Dm                   G 
  The real world's unkind 

            C               C7M        Am 
And it will never treat you better than me 

        F               G               C 
And the sooner that you own it you will see.
