G                           Em
 What makes a man, is it to turn the other cheek?
G                       D
 Is what makes a man to avenge a friend in grief, oh
Em7                         Cadd9
 What makes a man, is it to win or just compete
             G              D                G
What makes a man, is it the heart to admit defeat

G                          Em
 What makes a man, is it a vow to never lie
G                          D
 Is what makes a man to disguise his desperate cries, oh
Em7                          Cadd9
 Is what makes a man the attitude to do or die
             G             D                  G
What makes a man, is it to stand and question why


G                            Em
 What makes a man, is it the equals that he's killed
G                            D
 What makes a man is the reputation he can build
                Em7                             Cadd9
Is what makes a man the count of tally marks to coffins that he's filled
             G              D                      G
What makes a man, is it the stains from blood he's spilled

[Verse 2]

G                            Em
 What makes a man, is it the pain he can endure
G                            D
 What makes a man, is it the country that he serves, oh
Em7                          Cadd9
 What makes a man, is it the trauma he preserves
             G              D              G
What makes a man defend the banner that he burns


G                            Em
 What makes a man, is it the cash that he collects
G                            D
 What makes a man, is it the girls that fear the respect, oh
Em7                         Cadd9
 What makes a man, is it to one-up the known best
             G                D                   G
What makes a man, the one who cleans or makes the mess


G                           Em
 What makes a man, is it to cause his lover's moans
G                                D
 Is what makes a man the push to never be alone, oh
Em7                        Cadd9
 What makes a man, is it a woman of his own
             G              D               G
What makes a man, is it the man that he can clone


G                            Em
 What makes a man, is it the son he works to teach
G                            D
 What makes a man, is it the goals he's set and reached, oh
Em7                          Cadd9
 What makes a man, is it his house built on the beach
             G             D              G
What makes a man, is it to prove he is no leech
