You're only as tall

As your heart will let you be

Just look on the bright side

In a world that answers none

Of them at all

I'll say "hi"
C chordC F chordF
But not reply to the letters that you write
G chordG
Because I found some piece of mind

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

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 :))
