[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?
[Verse 2]

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,

For you
[Chorus]

Everywhere I look I see your face

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
