INTRO/VERSE
 
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
 
CHORUS
 
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
 
INSTRUMENTAL PIANO PART
 
OUTRO
 
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

The author of this tab claims that no one before has tabbed it correctly. This is exactly the same as the tab posted earlier by me. The only difference is that in this tab, G is indicated to be played, while in mine, G7 is indicated. However, at the start of this tab, the chart depicts "G" as being played 320001, which is G7. So I don't know where these claims of nobody tabbing it correctly come from, because mine is exactly the same.
