Dead Man Walking

Intro: D5 


 
D5 
I'm uncovering buried secrets 

I've been draggin' the depths of the deep end 

Living right on the edge of an amen 
                     F5 F5 
And barely hanging on 


D5 
You tried to bleach the evidence 

Cover up your tracks 

But you forgot about the knife 

You left in my back 

Yea your hands are dripping red 

And your alibi 

Is barely hanging on 
 

 
       B5       G5 
I'm a dead man walking 
E5 
I've been running for my life 
                           B5 
(I've been running for my life) 

          G5 
Six feet falling 
      E5                      G5 
It's killing me to try to survive 
       F5        D5      D5   D5   D5 
I'm a dead man (Dead man) 
                D5    D5   D5   Bb5 
I'm a dead man walking 
 

 
D5 
You carved my name in the heart broke headstone 
                                          G5 
"Here lies the bones of the love that you let go" 
D5 
You cover me in the dirt that you throw 
                         F5 F5 
To try and sleep at night 

D5 
You trash my name to your friends 

Like it's therapy 
                                F5 
And pass if off as a personal epiphany 
D5 
Bad advice feeds the lies that you tell 

Just to try and sleep at night 
 

 
       B5       G5 
I'm a dead man walking 
E5 
I've been running for my life 
                           B5 
(I've been running for my life) 

          G5 
Six feet falling 
      E5                      D5 
It's killing me to try to survive 

       F5       D5    D5   D5   D5 
I'm a dead man walking 
                D5    D5   D5   Bb5 
I'm a dead man walking 


Spoken: 

 D5 
You're the accused 
                   D5 
There is only one sentence prescribed by law .... 

NOTE: The rest is hard to understan ... 
      If you know the words please let me 
      know and I will add them. Thanks.
