[Verse 1]
F A#maj7 F
Boy, please don't throw away your life
A#maj7 Dm7
All the joy, please don't end it with a knife
G7 F/C Am7 Gm7 A#m F
'Cause you know there's hope for you
F A#maj7 F
I was alone like the silence in the night
A#maj7 Dm7
I had no home no one close to hold me tight
G7 F/C Am7 Gm7 A#m
But you know there's hope for you,
F
For you
[Chorus]
A# F
Everywhere I look I see your face
Dm7 Am7
Every step I take seems out of place
A# G7
You got to be a man to run the race
Gm7
I'm not a hopeless man
Gm7/C F
How can you say I am?
