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  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  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              C
How can you say I am?

I was alone like the silence in the night
I had no home no one close to hold me tight
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
You got to be a man to run the race
I'm not a hopeless man
How can you say I am
