[Verse 1]
G# C#maj7 G#
Boy, please don't throw away your life
C#maj7 Fm7
All the joy, please don't end it with a knife
A#7 G#/D# Cm7 A#m7 C#m G#
'Cause you know there's hope for you
G# C#maj7 G#
I was alone like the silence in the night
C#maj7 Fm7
I had no home no one close to hold me tight
A#7 G#/D# Cm7 A#m7 C#m
But you know there's hope for you,
G#
For you
[Chorus]
C# G#
Everywhere I look I see your face
Fm7 Cm7
Every step I take seems out of place
C# A#7
You got to be a man to run the race
A#m7
I'm not a hopeless man
A#m7/D# G#
How can you say I am?

But you know there's hope for you,

For you
[Chorus]

Everywhere I look I see your face
