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