Never Shout Never - On The Brightside

Am                       E   
I met a man of two feet tall    
         Cadd9    
This man was quite ambitious    
        F             Fm            Am    
In a world that is so vicious to us all    
        E          Cadd9    
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."

Am                       E    
I met a man of twelve feet tall    
       Cadd9    
He towered like a giant    
        F             Fm            Am    
In a world that was defiant of his height    
        E          Cadd9    
I said, "Hi," as he replied    
                           F                G               C    
He said listen to these words that I have dreaded my whole life    
     
     
                Am                            F

I am a man of six feet tall    
       Cadd9    
Just lookin' for some answers    
        F                Fm            Am    
In a world that answers none of them at all    
            E         Cadd9    
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
