it would be you instead of him.

You've never walked in that man's shoes...or saw things through his eyes, 
                                   D 
or stood and watched with helpless hands 
           A 
while the heart inside you dies. 
                  A7                 D 
Some were porpers,...some were kings,..some were masters of the arts,  
A                            E7                    A 
..but in their shame they're all the same,...these men with broken hearts.
