You Can Still Walk Tall

A D (X4)
Yeah,
Yeah.

D                       A          E          A
I know you're hurting - baby, what can I say?
           F#              A            D
Can the pot say to the potter, "Why did you make me this way?"
                    F#  A                         D             F#
And when the pain drives you down to your knees and you cry out
                         A                              E
for help in the darkness, that's the safest place you can be.

Hey, baby,
D                               A
Baby, you could still walk tall,
            F#            C#m           Bm    E
You just move a little slower now, that's all,
A                                             F# D
Slow enough to notice the beautiful and small,
A                               D                        A D
Baby, you can't run anymore, but you can still walk tall.

E              A    E                            A
The doctors say there's nothing more they can do,
    F#                                                          A
Yeah, but just 'cause they're closing the book, that don't mean
     D
the story is through,
          F#                    A                             D
A wise man once told me, "When your road's at an end you just
F#                                          A            E
hang onto hope anyway, and that's where a new road begins."

Hey, baby,
D                               A
Baby, you could still walk tall,
            F#            C#m           Bm    E
You just move a little slower now, that's all,
A                                             F# D
Slow enough to notice the beautiful and small,
A                               D                        A D
Baby, you can't run anymore, but you can still walk tall.

E                             A                          E
I don't believe this life is for nothing, and not a moment
A
escapes the good Lord's eyes,
E                               D                            A   C#m
This world tries to tell you there's no answer, but if true love
  A                        D
is real that must be a lie,
                   E
That must be a lie.

        A                 E
I am your friend, I know that's understood,
      F#                                                A           D
And if we could trade places right now, baby, you know that I would,
                  F#    A                           D           F#
Life can be hard and the future's unknown, but our saving grace
                                    E
is the promise we don't have to face it alone.

A
Hey, baby,
D                              A
Baby, you could still walk tall
        F#                 C#m          Bm    E
You just move a little slower now, that's all
A                                          C#m          F# E
And in your humbled silence you'll hear your Father call
                     D                  F#              E
Baby, you can't run anymore, but you'll dance again someday for
A
sure
                                E                       A D
Baby, you can't run anymore, but you can still walk tall
E                                 A                E A D
You can still walk tall, you could still walk tall.
                                D
Baby, you could still walk tall.
