[Verse 1]
 GWhat makes a man, is it to Emturn the other cheek?
 GIs what makes a man to Davenge a friend in grief, oh
 Em7What makes a man, is it to Cadd9win or just compete
What makes a Gman, is it the Dheart to admit deGfeat
 GWhat makes a man, is it a Emvow to never lie
 GIs what makes a man to disDguise his desperate cries, oh
 Em7Is what makes a man the attiCadd9tude to do or die
What makes a Gman, is it to Dstand and question Gwhy
 GWhat makes a man, is it the Emequals that he's killed
 GWhat makes a man is the repuDtation he can build
Is what makes a Em7man the count of tally marks to Cadd9coffins that he's filled
What makes a Gman, is it the Dstains from blood he's Gspilled
[Instrumental]

What makes a Gman defend the Dbanner that he Gburns
 GWhat makes a man, is it the Emcash that he collects
 GWhat makes a man, is it the Dgirls that fear the respect, oh
 Em7What makes a man, is it to Cadd9one-up the known best
What makes a Gman, the one who Dcleans or makes the Gmess
 GWhat makes a man, is it to Emcause his lover's moans
 GIs what makes a man the push to Dnever be alone, oh
 Em7What makes a man, is it a Cadd9woman of his own
What makes a Gman, is it the Dman that he can Gclone
 GWhat makes a man, is it the Emson he works to teach
 GWhat makes a man, is it the Dgoals he's set and reached, oh
