[Verse 1]
C
Why should you try to be much taller than you are
G7
Why do you try to hang a little out so far
C
You say you're right, when you are wrong
F
And though you're weak, you believe you're strong
G7 C
Why should you try to be much taller than you are
[Verse 2]
C
You are always, telling people you are the best
G7
But it's not so, when they put you to the test
C
So come on, let's be fair and square
F
Take what is yours, but please leave my share
G7 C
Why should you try to be much taller than you are

[Verse 3]
C
You will never reach the top like that, my friend
G7
And though you think your up, you will fall down, in the end
C
It's time you for to realise
F
And try and be your little size
G7 C
Why should you try to be much taller than you are
