[Intro]

[Verse 1] 
G What do you sing
CG When the song's been sung
C Who do you fight
G When the war is won
C What do you write
G When the book is done
G What do you sing
DG When the song's been sung
 [Verse 2] 
G How do you pray
CG Till you find your prayer
C How can you care so much
G You just don't care
C How do you feel
G Until the feeling's lost
G Until you love yourself
DG How can you love someone
 [Chorus] 
DG Here I am the hollow man
DG Telling stories about the promise of a promised land
G/BCG Feel like a cheap bouquet of flowers and a one-man band
DGDG With my heart in hand, the hollow man
 [Verse 3] 
G How does it work
CG When the words don't come
C It's like pulling the trigger
G On an empty gun
C You can't make it rain
G Staring at the sun
G So you work at your work
DG Until the work gets done
 [Chorus] 
DG Here I am the hollow man
DG Telling stories about the promise of a promised land
C Feel like a holy rose rosary
G On a one night stand
D With my heart in hand
GG7 The Hollow Man
 [Bridge] 
C I'm a blank page, clean slate, at night
I'll give my soul away 
G When nothing's left, I'll give you a smile
C I got these chords that won't wait
I'm much too vain to masturbate 
D No sacrificin' substance for style
AmC Awe, anyway, ha, I got you to smile
 [Instrumental]

[Verse 4] 
GCG What do you see that your eyes don't see?
CG And what do you dream now that you've sold your dreams?
CG And what do you sing when the song's been sung?
DG What do you sing when the song's been sung?
 [Chorus] 
DG Here I am the hollow man
DG Telling stories about the promise of a promised land
CG I feel like a cheap bouquet of flowers and a one-man band
C I'm just a holy rose rosary
G On a one night stand
D With my heart in hand
D7G I am the Hollow Man
