[Verse 1]
D Gmaj7 D
Boy, please don't throw away your life
Gmaj7 Bm7
All the joy, please don't end it with a knife
E7 D/A F#m7 Em7 Gm D
'Cause you know there's hope for you
D Gmaj7 D
I was alone like the silence in the night
Gmaj7 Bm7
I had no home no one close to hold me tight
E7 D/A F#m7 Em7 Gm
But you know there's hope for you,
D
For you
[Chorus]
G D
Everywhere I look I see your face
Bm7 F#m7
Every step I take seems out of place
G E7
You got to be a man to run the race
Em7
I'm not a hopeless man
Em7/A D
How can you say I am?

For you
[Chorus]

Everywhere I look I see your face
