[Verse 1]
E           A                   E
Everybody I talk to is ready to leave,
                      A
With the light of the morning,
E                           A                     E
They've seen the end coming down long enough to believe,
                         A
They've heard their last warning,
          G#m
Standing alone,
             C#m        F#m         Bsus4 B
Each has his own ticket in his hand,
A                    B
And as the evening descends,
                     A        E  A
I sit thinking 'bout Everyman.

[Verse 2]
E                           A                      E
Seems like I've always been looking for some other place,
                    A
Just to get it together,
E                A                           E
With a few of my friends I could give up the race,
                     A
Maybe find something better,
                G#m
But all my fine dreams,
                 C#m                 F#m         Bsus4 B
Well thought out schemes to gain the motherland,
A                        B                        A        E
Have all eventually come down to just waiting for Everyman.
 
 
[Chorus]
B                         Bsus4 B
Waiting here for Everyman,
E                          A
Make it on your own if you think you can,
B
If you see somewhere to go,
E           A
I will understand,
B                         Bsus4 B
Waiting here for Everyman,
      E               A
Don't ask me if he'll show,
B*            E  A
Baby, I don't know.

[Bridge]
C#m                        A
Make it on your own if you think you can,
C#m                               F#
Somewhere later on you'll have to take a stand,
A*
Then you're gonna need a hand.
 
 
[Verse 3]
E                A                        E
Everybody's just waiting to hear from the one,
                      A
Who can give them the answer,
E                          A                          E
And lead them back to that place in the warmth of the sun,
                      A
Where sweet childhood dances,
             G#m
Who'll come along,
                  C#m               F#m           Bsus4 B
And hold out that strong but gentle father's hand?
A                    B                       A        E
Long ago I heard someone say something about Everyman.
 
 
[Chorus]
B                         Bsus4 B
Waiting here for Everyman,
E                          A
Make it on your own if you think you can,
B
If you see somewhere to go,
E           A
I will understand,
C#m                                  A
I'm not trying to tell you that I've seen the plan,
C#m                       F#
Turn and walk away if you think I am,
A*                  C*                      C#m*        B E
But don't think too badly of one who's left holding sand,
A                 B                       A*        E*
He's just another dreamer, dreaming 'bout Everyman.
