[Intro]
Cm11

[Verse 1]
  Cm11
If you can keep your head,
                     Ab9       Bb9
While, all a - bout you, ...people are losing theirs,
                   Cm11
And blaming you,
               Ab9                 Bb9                Cm11
If you can trust yourself ...when every - body doubts you,
       Ab9                 Bb9                       Cm11
And make allowance for their doubting too

[Verse 2]
   Cm11                                          Ab9
If you can wait, and not get tired of waiting,
             Bb9                                                  Cm11
And when lied about, stand tall, don't deal in lies,
               Ab9   Bb9                        Cm11
And when hated ...don't give in to hating back,
                      Ab9               Bb9                  Cm11
Don't need to look so good, ...don't need to talk too wise

[Verse 3]
    Cm11                                                        Ab9
If you can dream, and not make dreams your master,
                   Bb9                                     Cm11
If you can thin, and not make intellect your game,
                    Ab9             Bb9              Cm11
If you can meet with triumph and dis - aster,
Ab9                                 Bb9       Cm11
And treat those two im - posters ...just the same

[Verse 4
Cm11                                          Ab9
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew...
        Bb9                       Cm11
...To serve you after all of them are gone,
       Ab9           Bb9                 Cm11
And so hold on ...when there is nothing in you,
                     Ab9           Bb9                Cm11
Nothing but the will that's telling you to ...hold on,
     Cm11
Hold on!

[Verse 5]
Cm11                                              Ab9
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken,
Bb9                                             Cm11
Twisted and misconstrued by some smug fool,
                       Ab9        Bb9                 Cm11
Or watch your life's work ...torn apart and broken down,
      Ab9                         Bb9        Cm11
And stoop to build again ...with worn out tools

[Verse 6]
Cm11                                                 Ab9
If you can draw a crowd and keep your virtue,
                  Bb9                                     Cm11
Or walk with Kings and keep the common touch,
                   Ab9         Bb9               Cm11
If neither enemies ...nor loving friends ...can hurt you,
                      Ab9            Bb9 Cm11
If everybody counts with you, ...but none too much

[Verse 7]
Cm11                                       Ab9
If you can fill the journey of a minute...
Bb9                                          Cm11
...With sixty seconds worth of won - der and delight,
              Ab9                Bb9                 Cm11
Then the Earth is yours, ...and every - thing that's in it,
      Ab9              Bb9          Cm11
But more than that ...I know ...you'll be alright,
                         Cm11
You'll be al - right

[Coda]
           Cm11
'Cause you got the fight, you got the insight,
Cm11
(You got the fight, you got the insight!)
Cm11
You got the fight, you got the insight,
Cm11
(You got the fight, you got the insight!)
Cm11  
You got the fight, you got the insight
