It's actually 'picked' but it sounds cool 'strummed'

Intro: Am Am, E E, C C, F F


Am Am E E
I met a man of 2 feet tall
C C
This man was quite ambitious
F F
In a world that is so vicious
Am Am E E
To us all, I said "hi"
C C
As he replied, he said
F F G G
Listen to these words that I have lived by my whole life.


C C
You're only as tall
Am Am
As your heart will let you be
F F
And your only as small
G G
As the world will make you seem
C C
And when the going gets rough
Am Am
And you feel like you may fall
F F
Just look on the bright side
G G
You're roughly six feet tall

Am Am

Am Am E E
I met a man of 12 feet tall
C C
He towered like a giant
F F
In a world that was defiant of his height
Am Am E E C C
I said "hi" as he replied, he said
F F G G
Listen to these words that I have dreaded my whole life.

C C
You're only as tall
Am Am
As your heart will let you be
F F
And your only as small
G G
As the world will make you seem
C C
And when the going gets rough
Am Am
And you feel like you may fall
F F
Just look on the bright side
G G
You're roughly six feet tall

Am Am

Am Am E E
I am a man of six feet tall
C C
Just looking for some answers
F F
In a world that answers none
Am Am
Of them at all
E E
I'll say "hi"
C C F F
But not reply to the letters that you write
G G
Because I found some piece of mind

C C
Cause I'm only as tall
Am Am
As my heart will let me be
F F
And I'm only as small
G G
As the world will make me seem
C C
When the going gets rough
Am Am
And I feel like I may fall
F F
I'll look on the brightside
G G
I'm roughly six feet tall

im not 100% certain of the strumming pattern, but my go to is d-du-udu

also, after every f i played an fm, and at the very end i added a c at 'tall' i think it sounds a bit fuller to me :))
