[Am][C][D]

[Verse 1]
[Am]The snow
was falling on [Gsus4]his shoulders by the side [C]of [D]the road
And [Am]he watched as
the sun went down
[Gsus4]Fall ing on the buil[G]ding
[C]Swal[D]lowing the children
It's [Am]the gun in your back
It's the heart attack
It's [Gsus4]the way you look back
[C]before [D]you step out

[Verse 2]
In [Am]time to see the number [Gsus4]of the
bus that's [C]running [D]you down
A million [Dm]lonely people with
their [C]bead in [G]the sand
Try[Dm]ing to make some sense of
what they [C]don't understand
[G]Wai[Dm]ting on somebody just to give[C]
them [Gsus4]a hand[G][F]
You're de[Am]signed to fall apart [Gsus4]on
the day [D]the warranty ends
And [Am]you try but you just can't stop
Run[G]ning [Gsus4]round in [G]circles
[C]Kno[D]cking over hurdles
It's [Am]the knife in your back
It's the heart attack
It's [Gsus4]the way you look back
[C]before [D]you step out
[Am]In time to see the shadow [Gsus4]of the
one that's [G]cutting you down
[D]

[Verse 3]

[C]The [G]snow [Dm]was f[C]all [G]in[Dm]g[C][G][F][Am][F]

[Am][D]
[F][E]
[Am]on h[D]is shoulders by the side of the road
And [F]he watched as
the lights came on be[E]low
And the chil[Am]dren were sleeping
And the [D]wo men were weeping
There was [F]nobody keeping him here
