[Verse 1]
G Cmaj7 G
Boy, please don't throw away your life
Cmaj7 Em7
All the joy, please don't end it with a knife
A7 G/D Bm7 Am7 Cm G
'Cause you know there's hope for you
G Cmaj7 G
I was alone like the silence in the night

But you know there's hope for you,
G
For you
[Chorus]
C G
Everywhere I look I see your face

Every step I take seems out of place
C A7
You got to be a man to run the race
Am7
I'm not a hopeless man
Am7/D G
How can you say I am?

For you
