[Verse]
Cm
They say there was progress
Ab
The holy among us
Eb
I thought they would lead us through the night
Bb Cm
But fear has consumed us
Ab
A feeling we can't trust
Eb Fm
I hope this will open up their eyes
Ab Bb Cm
Stand up before it gets too late
Ab Bb Gm
Love now when all is down to hate
Eb Cm
So I stare at the sun
Ab Eb
And I can't take back, I can't take back the world
Eb Cm
And I stare at the sun
Ab
And it burns my heart
Eb Bb
As I cry I am left with the lie of all of these
Cm Ab
forgotten ones
Eb Bb
And we can't take back just what we did
Cm Ab
And we can't take back the things we said
Cm Bb
But I'll try to change this world again
Ab
Before we lose our hope
[Chorus]
Cm Ab
Feel like a dead man walking
Cm Eb
A dead man walking
Cm Ab
I'm a dead man walking
Ab Cm
A dead man walking
[Verse]
Cm
I thought you could hold me
Ab
I thought this would show me
Eb Bb
That we will live eternal nights
Cm
But I can't be bought, no
Ab
I won't be taught, no
Eb Bb
I have no faith to run back to
Ab Bb Cm
Please try before it gets too late
Ab Bb Gm
We can choose to end this fate
Bb Eb Bb
So I stare at the sun
Cm Ab Eb
And I can't take back, I can't take back the world
Bb
And I stare at the sun
Ab
And it burns my heart
Eb Bb Cm Ab
As I cry I am left with the lie of all of these forgotten ones
Eb Bb
And we can't take back just what we did
Cm Ab
And we can't take back the things we said
Cm Bb
But I'll try to change this world again
Ab Cm
Before we lose our hope
[Chorus]
Cm Ab
Feel like a dead man walking
Cm Eb
A dead man walking
Cm Ab
I'm a dead man walking
Ab Cm
A dead man walking
[Bridge]
Cm Ab
Don't smile at me with your sideways
Fm
Two-faced enemy to criticize he said she said
Ab Cm
All these years are left for dead
Ab
How can we live our lives?
Cm
How can we live our lives now?
Fm Cm
This is oppression
Ab Fm
And where's your goddamn king?
Fm Bb
What's missing?
Eb Cm Bb Ab
(What's missing?)
Cm Bb Ab
And if you're fed up then rise up from the dirt
Cm Bb Ab
Will we fight when we won't have retreat?
Cm Bb Ab
Just a hole where your heart used to be
Cm Bb Ab
The nation fades away and the aftertaste is bitter
Cm Bb Ab
Will the ghost that haunts stand for this song?
Cm Bb Ab
We have nothing for this pain, ignorance to true gain
Cm Dm Bb Ab
We can run away and build a wall of isolation, desperation
Cm Bb
But they won't be there to answer the call
Ab
Who is left now to catch your fall
Cm Bb
They won't be there, they won't be there
Ab
They won't be there, they won't be there

We're drowning, we're drowning
Bb Cm Ab
And I'll be the constant reminder of what life should have been
Cm Ab Cm Ab
We're drowning, we're drowning
Bb Cm Ab
I feel alone living in a nightmare
Cm Ab Cm Ab
Feel like a dead man walking
Cm Ab Cm Ab
I'm a dead man walking
Cm Ab Cm Ab
I'm a dead man walking
Ab
I'm a dead man walking
Eb
So I stare at the sun
Cm
And I can't take back
Ab Eb
I can't take back the world
Eb Cm
And I stare at the sun
Ab
And it burns my heart

As I cry I am left with the lie of all of these forgotten ones
