C
These battered hand are all you own
Am
This broken heart has turned to stone
F C
Go hang your glory on the wall
Am Em
There comes a time when castles fall
F Em Dm C G
And all that's left is shifting in the sand
C Dm
You're out of time, you're out of place
Em
Look at your face
F G C
That's the measure of a man
C
This coat that fits you like a glove
Am
These dirty streets you learned to love
F C
So welcome back my long lost friend
Am Em
You've been to hell and back again
|
F Em Dm C G
God alone knows how you crossed that span
C Dm
Back on the beat, back to the start
Em
Trust in your heart
F G C
That's the measure of a man
C Dm Em
It's the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand
F G C
It's the things you understand
Am Em
Permanent ties from which you once ran
F G D# Cm
That's the measure of a man

D#
You've come full circle, now you're home
Cm
Without the gold, without the chrome
G# D#
And this is where you've always been
Cm Gm
You had to lose so you could win
G# Gm Fm D# A#
And rise above your troubles while you can
D# Cm
Now you can love, now you can lose
Gm
Now you can choose
G# A# D#
That's the measure of a man
D# Fm Gm
It's the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand
G# A# D#
It's the things you understand
