intro: E d# b g# C#m c# d# (played several times)

E E/Db C#m c# d# E E/Db

everybody i talk to is ready to leave with the light of the

C#m c# d# E E/Db C#m

morning that they've seen the end coming down long enough

c# d# E E/Db C#m

to be_lieve that they heard their last warning

c# d# e B C#m

standing a_lone each has his own__

Fm F# f# g# a B B/Db B

ticket for the in his hand

E B C#m

and as the evening decends i sit thinking about everyman

c# d# E d# b g# C#m c# d#

E E/Db C#m c# d# E E/Db

seems like i've always been looking for some other place to get

C#m c# d# E E/Db C#m

it together with a few of my friends i could

c# d# E E/D# C#m

give up the race and maybe find something better

c# d# e B C#m Fm

but all my fine dreams well thought out schemes to gain

F# B B/D# B A B

the motherland have all eventually come down

C#m c# d# E B

to waiting for everyman waiting here for everyman

E B A

make it on your own if you think you can

B E B A

if you see somehere to go i understand

B E B A

waiting here for everyman don't ask if he'll show

B

i don't know

E d# b g# C#m c# d# (4x) a B C#m Fm F# f# g# a B B/D# B

E B A B

make it on your own if you think you can

E F#

somewhere later on you'll have to take a stand

A (riff 1)

then you're going to need a hand

E E/D# C#m c# d# E

everybody's just waiting to hear from the one who can

E/D# C#m c# d# E E/D# C#m

give them the answers and lead them back to that place

c# d# E E/D# C#m

in the warmth of the sun where childhood still dances

c# d# e B C#m Fm

who'll come a_long and hold out that strong and gentle

F# B B/D# B E B

father's hand long ago i heard someone say something

C#m c# d# E B

about everyman waiting here for everyman

E B A

make it on your own if you think you can

B E B A

if you see somewhere to go i understand

E B A B

i'm not trying to tell that you i've seen the plan

E F# f# g# A

turn and walk away if you think i am

B C#m

but don't think to badly of one who's left holding

c# d# E A B

the sand he's just another deamer

C#m c# d# E d# b g# C#m c# d#

dreaming about everyman

E d# b g# C#m c# d# (repeat a few times til end)
