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
