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

about everyman waiting here for everyman

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
