I met a man of two feet tall

This man was quite ambitious
F Fm Am
In a world that is so vicious to us all
E C9
I said, "Hi," as he replied
F G C
He said listen to these words that I have lived by my whole life
Am F
"You're only as tall as your heart will let you be,
G C
And you're only as small as the world will make you seem
Am F
And when the goin' gets rough, and you feel like you may fall
G Am
Just look on the bright side, you're roughly six feet tall."

I met a man of twelve feet tall

In a world that was defiant of his height

I said, "Hi," as he replied

He said listen to these words that I have dreaded my whole life

"You're only as tall as your heart will let you be,

And you're only as small as the world will make you seem

And when the goin' gets rough, and you feel like you may fall

Just look on the bright side, you're roughly six feet tall."

I am a man of six feet tall

Just lookin' for some answers
F Fm Am
In a world that answers none of them at all
E C9
I'll say, "Hi," but not reply
F G C
To the letters that you write because I found some peace of mind
Am F
Cause I'm only as tall as my heart will let me be,
G C
And I'm only as small as the world will make me seem
Am F
And when the goin' gets rough, and I feel like I may fall
G C
I'll look on the bright side, I'm roughly six feet tall."
