[Verse 1]
C Fmaj7 C
Boy, please don't throw away your life
Fmaj7 Am7
All the joy, please don't end it with a knife
D7 C/G Em7 Dm7 Fm C
'Cause you know there's hope for you
C Fmaj7 C
I was alone like the silence in the night
Fmaj7 Am7
I had no home no one close to hold me tight
D7 C/G Em7 Dm7 Fm
But you know there's hope for you,
C
For you
[Chorus]
F C
Everywhere I look I see your face
Am7 Em7
Every step I take seems out of place
F D7
You got to be a man to run the race
Dm7
I'm not a hopeless man
Dm7/G C
How can you say I am?
