 What does it take to be.... a man? 

C#m7 
 What does it take to see 

    B/D#  E                F# 
Its all   heart and soul a gentle hand? 

G#m                     F#sus4  F# 
 So easy to want and so hard to give 

C#m7 
 How can you be a man 

     B/D#  E              F# 
till you   see beyond the life you live? 

B/F#                      F#

{Verse} 
We can be blind, but a man tries to see 
It takes tenderness 
For a man to be what he can be 
And what does it mean 
If youre weak or strong? 
A gentle feelin 
Can make it right or make it wrong 
What does it take to be a man? 

{Chorus} 
The will to give and not receive 
The strength to say what you believe 
The heart to feel what others feel inside 
To see what they can see 


{Solo}

{Final} 
A#m  D#  G#sus4        G# 
          A man is something thats real 

G#m  C#  F#sus4           F# 
         Its not what you are 
   
                 F#m     B 
Its what you can feel..... 

   E 
It cant be too late 

   G#m/D#                    C#m  A# 
To look through the hate and see.... 

B  G#/C              C#m      F#m    
 I know thats what a man can be..
