[Verse 1]
C# F#maj7 C#
Boy, please don't throw away your life
F#maj7 A#m7
All the joy, please don't end it with a knife
D#7 C#/G# Fm7 D#m7 F#m C#
'Cause you know there's hope for you
C# F#maj7 C#
I was alone like the silence in the night
F#maj7 A#m7
I had no home no one close to hold me tight
D#7 C#/G# Fm7 D#m7 F#m
But you know there's hope for you,
C#
For you
[Chorus]
F# C#
Everywhere I look I see your face
A#m7 Fm7
Every step I take seems out of place
F# D#7
You got to be a man to run the race
D#m7
I'm not a hopeless man
D#m7/G# C#
How can you say I am?
[Verse 2]
C# F#maj7 C#
I was alone like the silence in the night

But you know there's hope for you,
C#
For you
[Chorus]

Everywhere I look I see your face
