My best friend died a lonely man
        LAb6/MIb
In some Palm Springs hotel room
  MIb
I got the call last Christmas Eve
        LAb6/MIb
And they told me the news
  MIb
I tried all night not to break down an' cry
       LAb6/MIb
As the tears rolled down my face
  MIb
I felt so cold and empty
       LAb6/MIb
Like a lost soul out of place
        MIb7+          FAm7
And the mirror, mirror on the wall
       MIb7+/SOL       LAbadd9
See my smile it fades again

                           MIb
Uh, give me something to believe in 

(Uh, give me something to believe in)
             LAb6/MIb

SIb      LAbadd9      SIb      LAbadd9

MIb      LAbadd9      MIb      LAbadd9

MIb  FAm7  MIb7+/SOL  LAbadd9

               MIb
I drive by the homeless sleepin' 

on a cold dark street
     LAb/MIb
Like bodies in an open grave
MIb
Underneath the broken old neon sign
LAb/MIb
Used to read "Jesus saves"
  MIb                  
A mile away live the rich folk
      LAb6/MIb
And I see how they're livin' it up
              MIb
But while the poor they eat from hand to mouth
             LAb6/MIb
The rich are drinkin' from the golden cup
    MIb7+            FAm7
And it just makes me wonder
            MIb7+/SOL       LAbadd9
Why so many lose and so few win, ha

                       MIb
Give me something to believe in 
                            LAb6/MIb

(uh, give me something to believe in)
             LAb6/MIb
If there's a Lord above
                       MIb
Give me something to believe in 

(take the high road, 

give me something to believe in)
    LAb6/MIb
Oh, Lord arise
                       MIb
Give me something to believe in

Terzo disco di inediti per la rockband della Pennsylvania, segna una certa maturazione artistica soprattutto nella stesura dei testi ma anche nel look più sobrio rispetto agli esordi. La canzone è il secondo singolo estratto dall'album, un'intensa power ballad dedicata al bodyguard di Bret Michaels: James Kimo Maano; era deceduto durante le fasi di lavorazione.
