Intro:
|Cm |Ab |Eb |Fm
|Cm |Ab |Eb |Fm

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

Cm                     Ab
Feel like a dead man walking

A dead man walking

I'm a dead man walking

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

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
