Back about when i was 20 i realized i wouldn't live forever
C D G
In a hospital bed i had to lie until i got better
G C G
I figured out then that sometimes when you fall
C D G
No matter how much it hurts you have to stand tall
C G G/F
Stand Tall Hold Your Head Up High
Em D G
Life can be what you make it when you try
C G G/F
When you feel like your pushed up against a wall
Em D G
Stand Tall Ohh Stand tall
I've Been playing this guitar now for so many years
I've poured my heart out and sang through so many tears
Some nights i find myself, singing to an empty hall
But i can't give up this thing i do So I Stand Tall
Stand Tall And I hold my head up high
Someday maybe I'll make it if I try
And when i find myself pushed up against a wall
I stand Tall Ohh I Stand Tall
Tonight as I kneel by my bed I'll thank god for what is right
Then ask him for forgiveness and help to see the light
And when i get my final, final curtain call
I know what I'll have to do, and I'm going to do Stand Tall
Stand Tall And Hold my head up high
I'll know i did my best when i die
When God calls my name from beyond heavens wall
I'll stand tall ohh I'll stand tall
