[Em] [Dm] [Em] [Dm]
Hey [Em]you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old, can you [Bm]feel me
Hey [Em]you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you [Bm]feel me
[D]Hey you, don’t you help them to [D7]bury the [G]li[D]ght [C]
[Bm]Don’t give in [Am]without a [Em]fight. [Dm]


Hey [Em]you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone would you [Bm]touch me
Hey [Em]you, with your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out would you [Bm]touch me
[D]Hey you, would you help me to [D7]carry the [G]sto[D]one [C]
[Bm]Open your heart,[Am]I’m coming [Em]home


[Am] [Em] [Am] [Em] [Am] [Em]
[C]But it was [D]only a [G]fan[D]ta[C]sy
[C]The wall was too [D]high, as [G]you [D]can [C]see
[C]No matter how he [D]tried he could [G]not [D]break [C]free
And the worms ate [D7]into his [Em]brain [Dm].


[Em] [Dm] [Em] [Dm] [Em] [Dm]
Hey [Em]you, out there on the road
Doing what you’re told, can you [Bm]help me
[G]Hey [Em]you, out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall, can you [Bm]help me
[D]Hey you, don’t tell me there’s [D7]no hope at [G]all [D] [C]
To[Bm]gether we stand, [Am]divided we [Em]fall.
