How can you tell if he's a worried man
D G C D
By the way that he walks by the way that he stands
G C D G
He's working his way thru the family plan
C D
Hands on the wheel he'll spin in the sand ??
G C D G
And they love him in their own small way
D G C D
The children listen to the songs he plays
G C D G
The past you just can't hide away
C C D
A dream hangin on from yesterday
G C D G
When your back's against the wall tonight
Em C
And you won't surrender without a fight
G D Em
And it's so far past what's wrong and right
C D G
When your back's against the wall tonight

SOLO

D C G
Oh what keeps you going thru the long dark night
Em Bm
What gives this man the will to survive
D C G
And break on thru and make it all right
C D
When your back's against the wall
G C D G
So button up your coat against the cold cold wind
D G C D
Theres's no guarantte anybody wins
G C
Too much about the money
C D G
Too much about the sin
C D
Your banking that the wheel will turn over again
G C D G
When your back's against the wall tonight
Em C
And you won't surrender without a fight
G D Em
And it's so far past what's wrong and right
C D
When your back's against the wall
D C G
When your back's against the wall tonight
Em C
And you won't surrender without a fight
G D Em
And it's so far past what's wrong and right
C D G
When your back's against the wall tonight
