Am                   C     G
What does it take to be a man?
Dm
What does it take to see
            F
Its all heart and soul
        G
A gentle hand?
Am                       C        G
So easy to want and so hard to give
Dm
How can you be a man
          F              G
till you see beyond the life you live?
C                               G
Oh, what does it take to be a man?

Am                      C         G
We can be blind, but a man tries to see
Dm
It takes tenderness
       F              G
For a man to be what he can be
Am
And what does it mean
            C       G
If you're weak or strong?
Dm
A gentle feelin
     F                G
Can make it right or make it wrong
C                     G
What does it take to be a man?

Bm           E               A
The will to give and not receive
Am               D              G
The strength to say what you believe
Gm            C                F
The heart to feel what others feel inside
F/E                   Dm
To see what they can see

Bm  E  A
               A man is somethin thats real
Am  D  G
                Its not what you are
                Its what you can feel
Gm  C  F
                It cant be too late
F/E                                           Dm
                To look through the hate and see
G                                            C
                I know thats what a man can be
