I'm a breathing, talking, dead man, walking
         A                             E
Already see it, in your face, already someone, in my place
           F#m                  E
I'm a breathing, talking, dead man, walking

Now I'm a dead man walking, walking, walking
I hear the angels talking, talking, talking
Now I'm a dead man

We're in the same room just one million miles away
With all these books around,
but we ain't got two words to say
Am I a dead man now, left living with the shame?
I'm
