_ [F#] _ Sign of a [G#] desperate _ man _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ He is someone that you've seen before
He's [F#] known the roads of [C#] _ strife _ _ _
He's [G#] a rich man, he's a poor man
[F#] From any walk of [C#] _
life
_ _ _ His [G#] face is filled with troubles
[F#] That no one _ _ [C#] _ understands _ _ _
His [G#] eyes are [D#] filled with [Fm] sorrow
And [F#] his head is in his [C#] hands
_ _ _ _ That's [F#] a sign of a desperate _ [G#] man _ _
He _ may have been a prisoner
Once broke [F#] the law and out of [C#] hell
_ _ _ _ Or [G#] a man ashamed of his own life
[F#] A prisoner in [C#] _ himself _ _ _
_ [G#] Now he walks alone, some road alone
Without [F#] a purpose or [C#] a plan _
_ _ _ _ He [G#] hit the bottle [Cm] or [Fm] the road too much
And [F#] his head is in [C#] his _ hands _ _
_ [F#] That's a sign of a desperate [G#] man _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ Sign _ _ [F#] _
of a desperate _ [G#] man _ _
There are times when we are feeling weak
[F#] When fears drive us [C#] apart
_ _ _ _ It [G#] must be because we're so afraid
[F#] To say what's in our [C#] _ hearts _ _ _
But [G#] when we don't mean what we say
You know our [F#] pride is in [C#] command
_ _ But when [G#] we don't [Cm] say what [Fm] we mean
_ [F#] Confusion fills [C#] our land _ _ _ _
_ [F#] There are many signs [G#] among us now
[F#] Those signs of a desperate [G#]
man _ _ _ _ _ _ _
