[Verses 1-4]
         F           C
Have you ever walked alone at night
       Dm   C          Bb
Like a man against the world?
C                 Dm   C Bb
No one takes your side,
Bb                 C
A boat against the tide.

           F                   C
When your faith is shaken, You start to break,
         Dm       C           Bb
And your heart can't find the words.
        C       Dm
Tossed upon the sand
  Gm7         F   C          F
I give you a man against the world

        F                     C
All the people cheer till the end is near
       Dm    C         Bb
Then the hero takes a fall.
        C                   Dm    C Bb
They'll drag you through the mud.
Bb                    C
You're only flesh and blood.

        F                     C
Oh I've walked the path from dark to light
           Dm      C      Bb
And have yet to come to terms.
         C      Dm
Alone I take my stand,
    Gm7    F   C           F  
I'm only a man against the world.

[Bridge]
    C
But love!
       Bb
Like a distant reminder,
   F
It tugs at my shoulder,
   C
It calls me home.
  C
I shout!
      Gm
Can a single voice carry?
       Bb
Can I find sanctuary?
    F        C     Eb
Within your arms?

                 F                   Eb
Someday when the answer's clearer
               F                 Eb
Someday when I even the score
                        F
You'll reach and you'll find me near you
C
Right beside you
    D         C D
Forevermore
