Verses 1-4
         F           C 
Have you ever walked alone at night 
       Dm              Bb 
Like a man against the world? 
C                 Dm 
No one takes your side, 
Bb                 C 
A boat against the tide. 
 
           F                   C 
When your faith is shaken, You start to break, 
         Dm                  Bb 
And your heart can't find the words. 
Bb              Dm 
Tossed upon the sand, 
             Bb    C         F 
I give you a man against the world. 
 
        F                     C 
All the people cheer till the end is near 
        Dm            Bb 
Then the hero takes a fall. 
        C                   Dm 
They'll drag you through the mud. 
Bb                    C 
You're only flesh and blood. 
 
        F                     C 
Oh I've walked the path from dark to light 
         Dm             Bb 
And have yet to come to terms. 
Bb             Dm 
Alone I take my stand, 
           Bb      C         F 
I'm only a man against the world. 
 
Bridge
    C 
But love! 
       A# 
Like a distant reminder, 
   Dm 
It tugs at my shoulder, 
   G 
It calls me home. 
  C 
I shout! 
      A# 
Can a single voice carry? 
       Dm 
Can I find sanctuary? 
    G 
Within your arms? 
 
Cm                A# 
One day when the answer's clearer, 
Cm             A# 
One day when I even the score, 
Cm                      A# 
You'll reach and you'll find me with you, 
Cm 
Right beside you, 
Gm A A 
Forever more! 
 
Verses 5-6
        G              D 
But for now I walk the night alone, 
       Em              C 
Like a man against the world. 
D                    Em 
A brand new day will shine, 
            C            D 
Through the avalanche of time. 
 
           G           
Though the road is long, 
       D 
But the feeling's strong, 
        Em                C 
And the fire within still burns. 
C               Em 
Alone I take my stand, 
             C      D        G 
I give you a man against the world.
