Verse 1:
  Am
The city is a prairie
   Gm
That combs its hair
Dm       Dm
Shaves its face
Am
Didn't wanna move here
Gm
Had to get a new job
   Dm     Dm
Just another place
F

Fate is an arrow
Gm
Can't pull it out
Dm        Dm
Gotta break it off


Verse 2:
    Am
He was alive when I found him
  Gm
His eyes were sad
  Dm       Dm
His cheeks were pale
  Am          Gm
No signs of violence or foul play
     Dm       Dm
Maybe he slipped and fell
     F
He could barely breathe
  Gm
He drew me close
     Dm    Dm
Whispered in my ear


Chorus:
Bb    Am      Gm
How long, how long, can this go on?

Verse 3:
Am
Time moves on
Gm
Pеople pass by
Dm    Dm
He remains
Am
On thе ground
   Gm
By a busy street
  Dm    Dm
Without a name
F
Wonder what happened
Gm
None of their business
   Dm    Dm
Just another day


Chorus:
Bb    Am      Gm
How long, how long, can this go on?
