A5                 C5     G5    F5
The man of the moment is just way ahead of his time,
A5                     C5     G5        F5
could be why you see just distance in his eyes
Riff 1               F5     C5
he could be watching ashes grow,
Riff 1               F5     C5          G5
where all your best seeds were just now sown
D5                A5               F5         A5
but for all I know there's far more I don't

A5                         C5       G5         F5
New rays of light must fight for a place between the leaves
A5                         C5         G5        F5
so son don't seem surprised to find no shade beneath this tree
Riff 1            F5         C5
just like Abe you can't think twice
Riff 1            F5         C5      G5
when offered your piece of the franchise
D5            A5        F5
now every kid expects a birthright

F5                             G5
Hand-me-down, hand-me-down oh brother,
A5                            G5
now it's your turn, it's your turn to deliver
F5                             G5
hand-me-down, hand-me-down oh brother,
D5                 A5          F5
what's the measure of a man, made to measure


A5                                 C5        G5       F5
It's some privilege to claim that only the strong survive - 
A5                                C5         G5       F5
if you can choose the time and place and what you'll sacrifice
Riff 1             F5              C5
we'll all get our piece of the dream
Riff 1             F5              C5                     G5
and the have-nots will have to take another hit for the team
D5                A5
well that's just how it's always been

A5                                                    C5         G5
It went something like - garden, tree, Adam and Eve, and Father, pray, 
F5
forgive.
A5                                       C5         G5        F5
But if I never hear that shit again I'll live and live and live
Riff 1                    F5          C5
and whatever made the world go round before
Riff 1                     F5          C5               G5
is probably what will keep it going round after they're gone
D5               A5                F5
but for all I know there's much more I don't

F5                           G5
Hand-me-down, hand-me-down oh brother,
A5                          G5
now it's your turn, it's your turn to deliver
F5                          G5
hand-me-down, hand-me-down oh brother,
D5                      A5
what's the measure of a man, made to measure
F5
made to measure
