[Verse 1]
A# D#maj7 A#
Boy, please don't throw away your life
D#maj7 Gm7
All the joy, please don't end it with a knife
C7 A#/F Dm7 Cm7 D#m A#
'Cause you know there's hope for you
A# D#maj7 A#
I was alone like the silence in the night
D#maj7 Gm7
I had no home no one close to hold me tight
C7 A#/F Dm7 Cm7 D#m
But you know there's hope for you,
A#
For you
[Chorus]
D# A#
Everywhere I look I see your face
Gm7 Dm7
Every step I take seems out of place
D# C7
You got to be a man to run the race
Cm7
I'm not a hopeless man
Cm7/F A#
How can you say I am?
[Verse 2]
A# D#maj7 A#
I was alone like the silence in the night

But you know there's hope for you,
A#
For you
[Chorus]
D# A#
Everywhere I look I see your face

You got to be a man to run the race

I'm not a hopeless man

How can you say I am
