FF - G+G 2X

VERSE

FF               G+G
He swivels his head tears his eyes from the screen
FF                  G+G
As his past puts him back in Atlantic City
FF              G+G
There's not even a demon in Heaven or Hell
FF                  G+G
Is it all just human disguise as I walk down the aisle

CHORUS

    FF
And I'm gone
          G+G
Now I'm older than movies
   FF
And I know who's there
         G+G
When silhouettes fall
    Bb majorBb
And I'm gone
          DmDm
Like I'm dancing on angels
    G#G#             G+G
And I'm gone through a crack in the past

Like a dead man

INTRO

FF - G+G x2
Walking
Like a dead man walking

VERSE

FF           G+G
Three old men dancing under the lamplight
FF                     G+G
Shaking their sex and their bones and the boys that we were
FF                  G+G
An alien nation in therapy sliding naked and new
FF                      G+G
Like a bad tempered child on a rain slicked street

CHORUS

    FF
And I'm gone
          G+G
Now I'm older than movies
   FF
And I know who's there
         G+G
When silhouettes fall
    Bb majorBb
And I'm gone
          DmDm
Like I'm dancing on angels
    G#G#             G+G / D6sus4
And I'm gone through a crack in the past

Like a dead man

INTRO

FF - G+G x4
Walking
Like a dead man walking
Dead man
Dead man
Dead man
