Chinese Blues

Dm                          C                            G
The snow was falling on his shoulders by the side of the road
Dm
And he watched as the sun went down
C
Falling on the building
G
Swallowing the children
Dm
It's the gun in your back
It's the heart attack
C                          G
It's the way you look back before you step out
Dm                               C                      G
In time to see the number of the bus that's running you down

Gm                                 F           C
A million lonely people with their head in the sand
Gm                                     F       C
Trying to make some sense of what they don't understand
Gm                          F           C     Bb
Waiting on somebody just to give them a hand, Heyyyy
Dm                                   C                G
You're designed to fall apart on the day the warrenty ends
Dm
And you try but you just can't stop
C
Running round in circles
G
Knocking over hurdles
Dm
It's the knife in your back
It's the heart attack
C                          G
It's the way you look back before you step out
Dm                               C                      G
In time to see the shadow of the one that's cutting you down

Dm                          G
The snow was falling on his shoulders by the side of the road
Bb                                   A
And he watched as the lights came on below
Dm
And the children were sleeping
G
And the women were weeping
Bb                           A
There was nobody keeping him here
