He plays E and G notes, but you can stay in C as well
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
AmEm
There comes a time when castles fall
FEmDmCG
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
FGC
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
FEmDmC G
God alone knows how you crossed that span
C Dm
Back on the beat, back to the start
Em
Trust in your heart
FGC
That's the measure of a man
CDm Em
It's the fire in the eyes, the lines on the hand
FGC
It's the things you understand

Permanent ties from which you once ran
FGD#Cm
That's the measure of a man

You've come full circle, now you're home

Without the gold, without the chrome
G#D#
And this is where you've always been

You had to lose so you could win

And rise above your troubles while you can
D#Cm
Now you can love, now you can lose

Now you can choose
G#A#D#
That's the measure of a man

The permanent ties from which you once ran
That's the measure of a man
You've come full cirlce, now you're home
Without the gold, without the chrome
And this is where you've always been
You had to lose so you could win
And rise above your troubles while you can
Now you can love, now you can lose
Now you can choose
That's the measure of a man
