[Verse 1]
A                      D
Men were made to talk, babies born to cry
A                                 E    N.C.
Tears'll make 'em taller, fear of God gets in their eyes
A      E/G#  F#m        D        A
Sticks and   stones may break my bones
    D           A     E       A     D    A
But words will cut me down to size
 
 
[Chorus 1]
       D                                   A
Well I used to stand much taller, but I've learned to know my place
D                                E    N.C.
Used to scream and holler, now I quietly say grace
       D  E    A
With a smilin' face

[Verse 2]
A              D
This old house   acts mighty tired
A                           E   N.C.
Groans when I get up and it sighs when I retire
A      E/G#  F#m        D        A
Sticks and   stones may crack windows
    D          E       A     D    A
But words will start a fire
 
 
[Chorus 2]
       D                            A
So long, see ya ceiling; catch you later, kitchen floor
D                             E   N.C.
  C'est la vie, old TV that I watched when I was bored
D    E      A
Back screen door

[Verse 3]
A                 D
This plot of land may look alone
A                                   E  N.C.
Once there stood a body, all that's left is skin and bone
A      E/G#  F#m       D        A
Sticks and   stones may shelter some
    D          E       A
But words will make it home
