Tonart: D major
Intro 1
D
Verse 1
Em
Look him in the eyes
D
G
There's no need to be scared
D
He's as powerless as you and me,
Em
Though his face is well worn
D
G
And his clothes a bit torn
D
That don't mean that you
shouldn't believe,
Em
When he asks you your name
D
G
Says 'brother we're all here
in the same game'
D
But you shrink back like he's a disease,
Em
Yeah you shake and you moan
D
G
You say 'oh please take me home'
D
And the homeless all sing the reprise.
Verse 2
D
It's a hard hand to hold
That is looking for control
It is tempting to fight
When you know that you're right,
It's hard to lie down
When you don't trust the ground
It's hard to hold on,
Verse 3
It's hard to hold on.
D
G
There comes a battle with the wind
D
As it teases your previsions
against shame,
Em
Like all that wax in your hair
D
G
It becomes painfully clear
D
That as long as it's a fight,
you'll never win,
Em
And when you get to the door
D
G
You're still so busy fighting wars
D
That you can't look upon your lady as a friend,
Em
You're trying so hard to be right
G
You miss the love in that first sight
D
And your lover feels alone once again.
Verse 4
D
Em
D
It's a hard hand to hold
That is looking for control
It is tempting to fight
When you know that you're right,
It's hard to lie down
When you don't trust the ground
It's hard to hold on,
Em
It's hard to hold on.

Verse 5
Em
Entering the liquor store
G
D
You try your hardest to ignore
F#m
That street sleeper on your
D
F#m
left there all alone,
Em
And the young man on your right
G
With unchained souls and love of night
F#m
You look so scared they laugh and
Em
D
Bm
D
Em
wonder if your stoned,
But somewhere deep inside
G
They feel the pain they've
learned to hide
D
Because that same fear has brought
much trouble on their homes,
Em
And they know you won't feel safe
G
Until that cop car wins its race
D
Bm
And another life is driven off its road.
