Capo 4!

      

G C G

-----VERSE 1-----

G                                        D4
This world can analyze and size you up and throw you on the scales

    C
They can I.Q. you and run you through

           C      D4
Their rigorous details

      G                
They can do their best to rate you

            
            G       D4
And they'll place you on the charts


      D               
And then back it up with scientific smarts

            Em7
But there's more to what you're worth

            G
Than their human eyes can see





-----CHORUS-----

  G
Oh, I say the measure of a man

      C
Is not how tall you stand

      C               D4
How wealthy or intelligent you are

        G
'Cause I've found out the measure of a man

      C
God knows and understands

      D4
For He looks inside to the bottom of your heart

      Em7
And what's in the heart defines

        G
The measure of a man


-----VERSE 2 (SAME CHORDS AS VERSE 1)-----

Well, you can doubt your worth
And search for who you are
And where you stand
But God made you in His image
When He formed you in His hands
And He looks at you with mercy
And He sees you through His love
You're His child and that will always be enough
For there's more to what you're worth
Than you could ever comprehend


-----GO BACK TO CHORUS-----


-----BRIDGE-----

  Em7
You can spend your life pursuing physical perfection

   Em7
There is so much more

            D4
More than ever meets the eye

      Em7
For God looks through the surface

                        C
And He defines your worth by what is on the inside



-----CHORUS (KEY CHANGE 1 STEP UP)-----

I say the measure of a man
Is not how tall you stand
How wealthy or intelligent you are
'Cause I've found out the measure of a man
God knows and understands
For He looks inside
To the bottom of your heart
And what's in the heart defines
Oh, I say the measure of
The measure of a man
Is not how tall you stand,
How wealthy or intelligent you are
Oh, I've found the measure of a man
God knows and understands it
For He looks to the bottom of your heart


-----OUTRO-----

      C             D4
And what's in the heart defines
      
      C                D4
Yeah, what's in the heart defines

      C               D4
Yeah, what's in the heart defines

     G       C     G
The measure of a man

 C         G 
I know, I know
