Verse:
                   C minorCm
They say there was progress
         AbAb
The holy among us
               Eb MajorEb
I thought they would lead us through the night
Bb majorBb           C minorCm
But fear has consumed us
              AbAb
A majorA feeling we can't trust
                  Eb MajorEb            F minorFm
I hope this will open up their eyes
AbAb              Bb majorBb           C minorCm
Stand up before it gets too late
AbAb             Bb majorBb             G minorGm
Love now when all is down to hate
      Eb MajorEb          C minorCm
So I stare at the sun
                          AbAb                  Eb MajorEb
And I can't take back, I can't take back the world
       Eb MajorEb           C minorCm
And I stare at the sun
        AbAb
And it burns my heart
     Eb MajorEb                      Bb majorBb
As I cry I am left with the lie of all of these
C minorCm          AbAb
forgotten ones
        Eb MajorEb                   Bb majorBb
And we can't take back just what we did
         C minorCm                 AbAb
And we can't take back the things we said
          C minorCm                  Bb majorBb
But I'll try to change this world again
AbAb
Before we lose our hope

Verse:
                    C minorCm
I thought you could hold me
                     AbAb
I thought this would show me
              Eb MajorEb            Bb majorBb
That we will live eternal nights
                 C minorCm
But I can't be bought, no
             AbAb
I won't be taught, no
            Eb MajorEb              Bb majorBb
I have no faith to run back to
AbAb          Bb majorBb                C minorCm
Please try before it gets too late
AbAb      Bb majorBb                 G minorGm
We can choose to end this fate
Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb          Bb majorBb
So I stare at the sun
      C minorCm                  AbAb                  Eb MajorEb
And I can't take back, I can't take back the world
       Bb majorBb
And I stare at the sun
       AbAb
And it burns my heart
      Eb MajorEb                    Bb majorBb                  C minorCm          AbAb
As I cry I am left with the lie of all of these forgotten ones

I'm a dead man walking

Bridge:
      C minorCm                      AbAb
Don't smile at me with your sideways
           F minorFm
Two-faced enemy to criticize he said she said
AbAb                            C minorCm
All these years are left for dead
            AbAb
How can we live our lives?
                          C minorCm
How can we live our lives now?
F minorFm       C minorCm
This is oppression
     AbAb                    F minorFm
And where's your goddamn king?
F minorFm       Bb majorBb
What's missing?
Eb MajorEb       C minorCm        Bb majorBb AbAb
(What's missing?)

               C minorCm          Bb majorBb              AbAb
And if you're fed up then rise up from the dirt
        C minorCm         Bb majorBb              AbAb
Will we fight when we won't have retreat?
                              C minorCm         Bb majorBb AbAb
Just a hole where your heart used to be
             C minorCm   Bb majorBb           AbAb
The nation fades away and the aftertaste is bitter
           C minorCm         Bb majorBb          AbAb
Will the ghost that haunts stand for this song?
C minorCm                  Bb majorBb           AbAb
We have nothing for this pain, ignorance to true gain
       C minorCm             DmDm         Bb majorBb  AbAb
We can run away and build a wall of isolation, desperation
           C minorCm                 Bb majorBb
But they won't be there to answer the call
 AbAb
Who is left now to catch your fall
     C minorCm                    Bb majorBb
They won't be there, they won't be there
      AbAb
They won't be there, they won't be there
