[Verse 1]
E Amaj7 E
Boy, please don't throw away your life
Amaj7 C#m7
All the joy, please don't end it with a knife
F#7 E/B G#m7 F#m7 Am E
'Cause you know there's hope for you
E Amaj7 E
I was alone like the silence in the night
Amaj7 C#m7
I had no home no one close to hold me tight
F#7 E/B G#m7 F#m7 Am
But you know there's hope for you,
E
For you
[Chorus]
A E
Everywhere I look I see your face
C#m7 G#m7
Every step I take seems out of place
A F#7
You got to be a man to run the race
F#m7
I'm not a hopeless man
F#m7/B E
How can you say I am?
[Verse 2]
E Amaj7 E
I was alone like the silence in the night
Amaj7 C#m7
I had no home no one close to hold me tight
F#7 E/B G#m7 F#m7 Am
But you know there's hope for you,
E
For you
[Chorus]
A E
Everywhere I look I see your face
C#m7 G#m7
Every step I take seems out of place
A F#7
You got to be a man to run the race

I'm not a hopeless man

How can you say I am
