Measure of a Man Clay Aiken
(Intro): D G/D D A
[F#m]If one day you discover[G] him
[F#m]Broken down, he's lost [G]everything
[F#m]No cars, no fancy clothes to m[G]ake him who he's not
[F#m]The woman at his side is [G]all that he has got
[Bm]Why do you [A]ask him move h[G]eaven and e[D]arth
To pr[Em]ove his love has[Asus4] worth
[D]Would he walk on wate[G/D]r, would he run through fire
[D]Would he stand before you, when it's [G/D]down to the wire
[D]Would he give his life up, to be[A/C#] all he can
[Bm]Is that, [A]is that, [Em]is that how you m[G]easure a[Asus4] man[A]
[F#m]If by chance all he h[G]ad to give you
[F#m]Was three words wrapped ar[G]ound your finger
[F#m]Would that be deep enough at the [G]end of every day
[F#m]And how will you ever know, if a m[G]an is what he says
[Bm]Why do you [A]ask him move h[G]eaven and e[D]arth
To pr[Em]ove his love has w[A]orth
[D]Would he walk on wate[G/D]r, would he run through fire
[D]Would he stand before you, when it's [G/D]down to the wire
[D]Would he give his life up, to be[A/C#] all he can
[Bm]Is that, [A]is that, [Em]is that how you m[G]easure a [Bm7]man
He never gives[Em7] up, lets go of his [Asus4]dream
His world goes ar[D]ound for his one true bel[Bm7]ief
Is that how you k[Em7]now, is that what it [Asus4]means,[A] yeah
[D]Would he walk on wate[G/D]r, would he run through fire
[D]Would he stand before you
[Eb]Would he will be your anchor when the[Ab/Eb] dark unfolds
[Eb]Would he always love you the[Ab/Eb] best that he knows
[Eb]Would he give his life up, to be[Bb/D] all that he can
[Cm]Is that, [Bb]is that, [Fm]is that how you m[Ab]easure a man
[Eb]Would he walk on wat[Ab/Eb]er, would he run through fire
[Eb]Would he stand before you, when it's[Ab/Eb] down to the wire
[Eb]Would he give his life up, to be[Bb/D] all he can
[Cm]Is that, [Bb]is that, [Fm]is that, how you m[Ab]easure oh oh
[Cm]Is that, [Bb]is that, [Fm]is that,[Ab] ho[Bb]w your measure a m[Eb]an[Ab/Eb] [Eb]
