C                        Em 
Everybody wants to leave 
Dm            G          Em 
just like you and I. 
Am         F 
I have all year to smile, 
C          G 
a tear for every eye. 
C  
Life closed its eyes, 
F        C 
broke my world, 
        F 
now I'm cry. 
Em          C  
I've got to tell you, 
             F 
I've got the reasons, 
             C 
'cause I'm a man, 
              F 
a man for all seasons, 
G        C 
alive. 
  
And would you pray 
                     Em 
what makes the world go round, 
Am            F 
I haven't got today, 
C                   G    Em 
my mind is lost and found. 
c               F 
Life closed its eyes 
             C 
and said goodbye, 
        F 
now I'm cry. 
                C  
But I've got to tell you, 
            F 
I've got my reasons, 
             C 
'cause I'm a man, 
              F 
a man for all seasons, 
G 
alive. 
C        F        C   F 
Du du du du du du du 
C                 F 
I'm a man for all seasons. 
C                 F 
I'm a man for all seasons.
