[Verse 1]
A Dmaj7 A
Boy, please don't throw away your life
Dmaj7 F#m7
All the joy, please don't end it with a knife
B7 A/E C#m7 Bm7 Dm A
'Cause you know there's hope for you
A Dmaj7 A
I was alone like the silence in the night
Dmaj7 F#m7
I had no home no one close to hold me tight
B7 A/E C#m7 Bm7 Dm
But you know there's hope for you,
A
For you
[Chorus]
D A
Everywhere I look I see your face
F#m7 C#m7
Every step I take seems out of place
D B7
You got to be a man to run the race
Bm7
I'm not a hopeless man
Bm7/E A
How can you say I am?

For you
