Man Against The World by Survivor
Man Against The World
Intro: you may want to pick the piano intro (not that hard to find, try it)
or play the first verse chords (doesn’t fit with the original! but sounds not so bad ):
F-C-Dm-Bb-C-Dm-Bb-C
(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.
