[F#] Sign of a [G#] desperate man
He is someone that you've seen before
He's [F#] known the roads of [C#] strife
He's [G#] a rich man, he's a poor man
[F#] From any walk of [C#]
life
His [G#] face is filled with troubles
[F#] That no one [C#] understands
His [G#] eyes are [D#] filled with [Fm] sorrow
And [F#] his head is in his [C#] hands
That's [F#] a sign of a desperate [G#] man
He may have been a prisoner
Once broke [F#] the law and out of [C#] hell
Or [G#] a man ashamed of his own life
[F#] A prisoner in [C#] himself
[G#] Now he walks alone, some road alone
Without [F#] a purpose or [C#] a plan
He [G#] hit the bottle [Cm] or [Fm] the road too much
And [F#] his head is in [C#] his hands
[F#] That's a sign of a desperate [G#] man

[Cm] [Fm]
[F#] [C#]
Sign [F#]
of a desperate [G#] man
There are times when we are feeling weak
[F#] When fears drive us [C#] apart
It [G#] must be because we're so afraid
[F#] To say what's in our [C#] hearts
But [G#] when we don't mean what we say
You know our [F#] pride is in [C#] command
But when [G#] we don't [Cm] say what [Fm] we mean
[F#] Confusion fills [C#] our land
[F#] There are many signs [G#] among us now
[F#] Those signs of a desperate [G#]
