_ _ _ _ You must know someone like him, he was tall [B] and strong [E] and lean
With a body like a greyhound and a mane so [A] sharp and keen
[B] But his heart just like a [E] laurel grew twisted around itself
And almost everything he did brought pain to someone else
But it's not just what you're born with, it's what you choose to be
It's not how big your shame is, [B] but how much [A] you can share
[E] And it's not the fights you dream of, but those you really fought
It's not just what you're given, [B] it's what you do [A] with what you've got
[E] And what's the use of two strong legs if you only run me
And what use is the finest voice if you've nothing [A] good to [E] say
And what good is strength and muscle if you only push and shove
And what's the use of two good [Bm] ears if you can't [A] hear those you love
[E] And it's not just what you're born with, it's what you choose to be
It's not how big your shame [B] is, but how [A] much you can [E] share
And it's not the fights you dream of, but those you really fought
It's not [A] just [E] what you're [B] given, it's what you do [A] with what you've [E] got _
_ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _
[E] _ _ [A] _ [E] Between [B] those who use their [E] neighbours and those who use a cane
Between those in constant power and those in constant pain
Between those who run to an evil and those who cannot run
Tell me which ones are the cripples [B] and which ones [A] touch the sun
_ [E]
It's not just what you're born with, it's what you choose to be
It's not how big your shame is, [B] but how much [A] you can [E] share
And it's not the fights you dream of, but those you really fought
It's not just what you're given, [B] it's what you [A] do with what you've got
[E] And what's the use of two strong legs if you only run me
And what use is the finest voice if you've nothing [A] good to say
[Em] And what good [B] is strength [E] and muscle if you only push and shove
And what's the use of [B] two good ears if you can't hear [A] those you love
[E] It's not just what you're born with, it's what you choose to be
It's not how big your shame is, [B] but how much [A] you can share
[B] And it's not the fights [E] you dream of, but those you really fought
It's [A] not just [Em] what you're given, [Bm] it's what you [A] do with what [E] you've got _
