Lyrics

Hey (Em)you!

Out there in the cold, get ting lone ly, get ting old, can you (Bm)feel me?

Hey (Em)you!

Stand ing in the aisles with itch y feet and fad ing smiles, can you (Bm)feel me?

Hey you!

Don’t help them to (D7)bur y the (G)light.

Don’t give in

with out a (Em)fight.

Hey (Em)you!

Out there on your own, sit ting na ked by the phone, would you (Bm)touch me?

Hey (Em)you!

With your ear a gainst the wall, wait ing for some one to call out, would you (Bm)touch me?

Hey you!

Would you help me to (D7)car ry the (G)stone?

(Bm)O pen your heart,

I’m com ing (Em)home.

But it was (D)on ly (G)fan (D)ta (C)sy.

The (C)wall was too (D)high as (G)you (D)can (C)see.

No mat ter how he (D)tried, he could (G)not (D)break (C)free.

And the worms ate (D7)in to his (Em)brain.

Hey (Em)you!

Out there on the road, al ways do ing what you’re told, can you (Bm)help me?

(G)Hey (Em)you!

Out there be yond the wall, break ing bot tles in the hall, can you (Bm)help me?

Hey you!

Don’t tell me there’s (D7)no hope at (G)all.

To (Bm)geth er we stand,

di vid ed we (Em)fall.
