^Em9
I have my ^Em9 thoughts to position
But do I know how to act?
I have no silent ambitions
But does that make me a man
Until I ^Fmaj7 learn all I can
And mean all I understand
^B7#5 As a way of ^Em9 giving
I'm a ^Em9 piece of the earth
I take ^Em9 no offence
I can be ^Em9 who I am
I have ^Em9 no pretence
Only to ^Fmaj7 what you can be
If you want to be
^B7#5 It's a way of ^Em9 living ^{B7#5 Em9 B7#5}
I've got a ^Em9 pen in my pocket does that ^A7 make me a writer
^Em9 Standing on the mountain doesn't ^A7 make me no higher
^Em9 Putting on gloves don't ^A7 make you a fighter
And all the ^Em9 study in the world
Doesn't ^B7#5 make it science
^Em9 Yeah.
So grab a piece in the air
Try an' make it sing
Try and be who you can
It's the real, real thing
I'm into what you can be
If you want to be
As a way of living
I've got a pick in my pocket does that make me a player
Words can't do - what action does louder
Putting on gloves doesn't make me a fighter
And all the study in the world doesn't make it science
^Em9 (gui ^Fmaj7 tar so ^Em9 lo) ^{B7#5 Em9 B7#5}
I've got a pick in my pocket does that make me a player
Words can't do - what action does louder
Putting on gloves doesn't make me a fighter
And all the study in the world doesn't make it science
I've got a pen in my pocket does that make me a writer
Standing on the mountain doesn't make me no higher
Putting on gloves don't make you a fighter
And all the study in the world
Doesn't make it science
