[G] [C] [G] [C]
[G]As you [D]walk along the [Am]sidewalks of the [C]city
[G]You see a [D]man with [Am]hunger in his [C]face
[G]And all [D]around you crumbling [Am]buildings and [C]graffiti
[G]As you bend [D]down to tie your [Am]shoelace[C]
[G]Sirens [D]scream but you don't l[Am]isten[C]
[G]You have to [D]reach home before [Am]night[C]
[G]But now the [D]sun beats down it [Am]makes the sidewalks [C]glisten
[G]And somehow [D]you just don't feel [Am]right[C]
[G]Hold me, [Em]baby, [C]give me some [G]faith
[G]Let me know you're [Em]there [C]let me touch your [G]face
[C]Give me [G]love [C]give me [G]grace[C]
Tell me [G]good things [C]tell me that my world is [G]safe[C] [G] [C]
[G]You pass by [D]bars with empty [Am]stages[C]
[G]Three o'clock [D]drinkers fall [Am]by[C]
[G]Chairs are [D]placed on top of [Am]tables[C]
[G]As you brush the [D]hair out of your [Am]eyes[C]
[G]A woman [D]stops you with a [Am]question[C]
[G]So you drop some [D]money in her [Am]hand[C]
[G]She sleeps in [D]doorways and bus [Am]stations[C]
[G]And you'll [D]never unders[Am]tand[C]
[G]Hold me, [Em]baby, [C]give me some [G]faith
[G]Let me know you're [Em]there [C]let me touch your [G]face
[C]Give me [G]love [C]give me [G]grace[C]
Tell me [G]good things [C]tell me that my world is [G]safe[C] [G] [C] [G]
