CYou tried loving but I Gguess you could G/F#not love Emme.  How long can you count to a Dthousand?C  
I could be the Gbigger man, G/F#bigger Emman.  Yeah, I could be the bigger man, bigger man.C  
But I just want to Gkill a man, G/F#kill a Emman.  Really, what's a bigger man?
COh, young sailor do you Gsee what your G/F#captain Emsees?  Love is nothing more than an action.
CWhat an ocean, what a Gworld, on the G/F#big blue Emseas.  You can change it all if you Dwant to.
CMy good leader, what a Gself loving G/F#web you Emweave.  I have got a son and a daughter.
CMy young sailor, what a Gpoint that you G/F#just can't Emsee.  Don't you think that they need a Dfather?C  
So, pull yourself Gtogether man, G/F#smaller Emman.  And do it for a bigger man, bigger man.C  
How easy it would Gbe if we could G/F#see the Emplan.  But, really what's a plan?
