[D#m] [Fm] [F#] [D#m]
[G#] [Fm] [F#] [D#m]
[G#] [C#]
[F#]
[C#] [F#]
[C#] [F#]
[C#] Everybody [F#] I talk to is ready [C#] to leave with the light of [F#] the morning.
[C#] They've seen the end [F#] coming down long [C#] enough to believe they'd heard their last warning.
Standing [Fm] alone, [A#] each has his own ticket in [D#m] his hand.
[F#] [G#]
[F#] And as the [G#] evening descends, I sit thinking [A#m] about every [C#] man.
[F#] [C#] [Fm] Seem like I've [C#] always been looking for [F#] some [C#] other place to get it [F#] together.
[C#] Where with a few [F#] of my friends I could give [C#] up the race and maybe find [F#] something better.
But all [Fm] my fine dreams, well [A#] thought out schemes to [D#m] gain the motherland,
[G#] [F#] have all [G#] eventually come down to waiting [F#] for every [C#] man.
[G#] Waiting here for every man.
[C#] Make it on your [F#] own if you think you can.
[G#] If you see somewhere to [D#m] go, [C#] I [F#] understand.
[D#m] [G#] Waiting here for every man.
[C#] Don't ask, please [F#] feel sure.
[G#]
I [C#] don't know.
[F#]
[C#] [F#]
[C#] [F#] [C#]
[F#] [C#]
[Fm] [A#]
[D#m] [F] [G#]
[A#m] Make it on [C#] your [F#] own if you think you [G#] can.
[A#m] Somewhere later on [D#] you'll have to take a stand.
[G#] Then you're gonna need a hand.
[C#]
[F#] Everybody's just waiting to [C#] hear from the one who can give them [F#] the answer.
[C#]
And lead them back to [F#] that place in the warmth [C#] of the sun.
The sweet childhood [F#] still dances.
But who'll [Fm] come along and hold [A#] out that strong [D#m] but gentle father's hand?
[G#]
[F#] Long ago [G#] I heard someone say something [F#] about every [C#] man.
[G#] Waiting here for every man.
[C#] Make it on your own, make it [F#] if you think you [G#] can.
If you see somewhere to go, [C#] I [F#] understand.
[A#m] I'm not trying to [F#] tell you that I've seen the [G#] plan.
[A#m] Try to walk [D#] away if you think I [F#] am.
[G#] But don't [A] think too badly [D#] of one [A#m] who's left holding [C] sound.
[C#] [F]
[F#] He's just [G#] another dreamer, dreaming about [F#] every man.
