Who might smooch someone like him?
He was tall and strong and lean
[D] With a body like [A] a grey owl
[F#m] And a [B] mind so sharp and keen
[Bm] But his heart just like a laurel
Go [G] twisted round itself
[E] Till almost [A]
everything he did
[F#] Brought pain to someone ill
[Bm] It's not just what you're born with
[G] It's what you choose to [Bm] bear
[D] It's not how [A] big your share [F#] is
It's how much you can share
[Bm] It's not the fights you dreamed [G] of
It's those you really [G] fought
It's not what you've [A] been given
[F#m] [F#] It's what you do with what [Em] you've got
[Em]
[D] What's the use of strong [G] legs
If you only run away?
[Em] And what's the use of the finest voice
[A] If you've nothing good to say?
[D] What's the use in strength and muscle [G] if you
Only push and shove?
[B] What's the use of two [Em] good years
[A] If you can't hear those in [Bm] love?

Only push and shove?
[Em] What's the use of two good [B] years
[A] If you can't hear those in love
[D] Between those who use their neighbors
[G] And those who use the cane
[Em] Between those [E] in constant power
[A] And those in constant pain
[D] Between those who run to glory
And those who cannot [G] run
[Em] Tell me, which ones are the [A] cripples?
And which ones touch the sand?
