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