[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
