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?


Instrumental:

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?
