VERSE

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

CHORUS

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

Like a dead man

INTRO

F - G x2
Walking
Like a dead man walking

VERSE

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

CHORUS

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

Like a dead man

INTRO

F - G x4
Walking
Like a dead man walking
Dead man
Dead man
Dead man
