[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
Excuse me mister, I [Am]don't
mean to be a drag
You left your daddy on the trail
and I am in my bag
The life you've shown me,
man, it's already broken
The love you've given me,
it ain't nothing but a token
Love you've [F]given, love you've [D]given
Ain't no love at all
[Am]How long can we live like this?
How long can we live like this?
How long can we live like this?
How long can we live like this?
Here's the thing I'd like to
bring to your attention
It's just a trap for me,
it ain't hardly worth the mention
You left your dirty dishes
lying in my sink
And no clean water here for me to drink
No [G]clean wa[F]ter,
no clean wa[D]ter for me to drink
[Am]How long can we live like this?
How long can we live like this?
How long can we live like this?
How [G]long?[F][D][Am]

[Am]This is a [G]prayer for [Bb]all mankind
[F]Consider all [G]that you left [Am]behind
This is a prayer [G]for all man[F]kind
[G]Oh, [Am]yeah[Bm][Am]
[F][D][Am]
[F][Dm][D]
[Am][G][Am][F][G][Am]
I don't mean to bring it down,
[D]Some [Am]things are bett[D]er off
just lying in [Am]the ground.
And all your ministers,
they're [D]talking in their [F]sleep,
[Am]They're making promises
[F]impossible [Am]to keep
Making prom[F]ises
Making prom[D]ises impossible to keep
[Am]How long can we live like this?
How long can we live like this?
How long can we live like this?
How long can we live like this?
How long can we live like this?
How long can we live like this?
How long can we live like this?
How long can we live like this?
[F]How long?
[D]How long?
Can we [Am]live like [G]this?[F]
I know, [D]I k[E]now
[G]Can we live [Am]like this?
Thank you!
Thank you very much!
