[Verse 1]
[Am]gress
The holy amon[F]g us
I thought they would [C]lead us
through the [G]night
But fear has con[Am]sumed us
A feeling we can't [F]trust
I hope this will [C]open up their eyes

[Verse 2]
[D]Sta[Dm]nd up[F] before it[G] gets too late[Am]
[F]Love now when all[G] is down to hat[Em]e[E]
So [G]I stare

[Verse 3]
[C]at the[G] sun
And I can't [Am]take back,
I can[F]'t take back [C]the world
And I [G]stare at [Am]the sun
And it burn[F]s my heart
As I [C]cry I am left with the [G]lie of all
of [Am]these forgotten [F]ones
And we can[C]'t take back
just what [G]we did
And we can[Am]'t take back
the thing[F]s we said
But I'll [Am]try to change this [G]world again
Be[F]fore we lose our hope
Feel [Am]like a

[Verse 4]
dead man walk[F]ing
A [Am]dead man walk[C]ing
I'm a [Am]dead man [F]walking
A dead [C]man [Dm]walki[Am]ng

[Verse 5]
[Am]I thought you could hold me
I thought this would [F]show me
That we will [C]live eternal [G]nights
But I can't be [Am]bought, no
I won't be taught, [F]no
I have no [C]faith to run back [Am]to[G]

[Verse 6]
[F]Please try be[G]fore it gets too [Am]late
[F]We can [G]choose to end this [Em]fate[E]
[Em]So I[G] stare

[Verse 7]
[C]at the[G] sun
And I can[Am]'t take back,
I can[F]'t take back the [C]world
And I [G]stare at [Am]the sun
And it burn[F]s my heart
As I [C]cry I am left with the [G]lie of all
of [Am]these forgotten [F]ones
And we can[C]'t take back
just what [G]we did
And we can[Am]'t take back
the thing[F]s we said
But I'll [Am]try to change this [G]world again
Be[F]fore we lose our hope
Feel [Am]like a dead

[Verse 8]
man walk[F]ing
A [Am]dead man walk[C]ing
[Am]I'm a dead man w[F]alking
A dead [C]man [Dm]walki[Am]ng

[Verse 9]
[Am]Don't smile at me with
your side[F]ways
Two-faced enemy [Dm]enemy to criti
[Am]cize [Dm]he said she s[C]aid
[F]All these years are left for [Am]dead
How can we [F]live our lives?
How can we [Dm]live our lives [Am]now?[Dm]
This [Am]is oppression
And [F]where's your goddamn
[Dm]king?[Am][Dm]
What's missing? (What's missing?)
[C][Am][G][F]

[Verse 10]
And if [Am]you're fed
up then [G]rise out from the [F]dirt
Will [Am]the fight that we
[G]once had [Dm]retreat?
Just a hole [F]where your heart
used [Am]to be
[G][F]

[Verse 11]
The nation [Am]fades [G]away and
the [F]aftertaste is bitter
Will [Am]the ghost that [G]haunts
stand [F]for this song?
[Am]We have nothing for th[G]is pain,
[F]ignorance to true gain
We can [Am]run away and [G]build a wall of [F]isolation,
desperation

[Verse 12]
But [Am]they won't be there
to [G]answer the call
[F]Who is left now to catch your fall?
They [Am]won't be there,
they [G]won't be there
They [F]won't be there, they won't be there

[Verse 13]
We're [Am]drowning,
[F]we're dro[Am]wning[F]
[G]And I'll be the consta[Am]nt reminder of
what [F]life should have [Am]been
We're [F]drown[Am]ing, we're drown[F]ing
I feel [G]alone [Am]living in a [F]nightmare
Feel like a [Am]dead [F]man [Am]walking
[F]I'm[G] a dea[Am]d man[F] walking
[G]I'm a [Am]dead [F]man wal[Am]king[F]
[G]I'm a [Am]dead [F]man walking
So [G]I stare

[Verse 14]
[C]at the[G] sun
And I can[Dm]'t ta[Am]ke back
I can[F]'t take back the [C]world
And I [G]stare at the [Am]sun
And it burn[F]s my heart
As I [C]cry I am left with the [G]lie of all
of [Am]these forgotten [F]ones
And we can[C]'t take back
just what [G]we did
And we can[Am]'t take back
the thing[F]s we said
But I'll [Am]try to change this [G]world again
Be[F]fore we lose our hope

[Verse 15]
Feel like [Am]a dead man walk[F]ing
A [Am]dead man walk[C]ing
I'm a [Am]dead man [F]walking
A dead [C]man [Dm]walki[Am]ng
