[Intro]
Ab Abm Ab Abm Cm Cm
[Verse]
Ab Ab
I threw my phone out of the window, I’m so over it
Cm Cm
Weight on my shoulders, every day another storm to live
Ab
I’m standing at the ledge
Ab
My foot’s about to slide
Cm Cm
What if it takes the fall for me to learn to fly
Ab Ab
I try to run from what I’ve done
Cm Cm
And it cost me everyone, all it left me was feeling numb
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab
Sunrise stayed up ‘til the morning
Ab
Eyes stay bloodshot from the smoking
Cm
Another round and I’m locked and loaded
Cm
Faith has faded
Ab
Living on the edge one foot in the coffin
Ab
Lord knows I don’t pray too often
Cm
Knees down when the devil come calling
Cm
Ain’t no saving
[Chorus]
Ab Ab
Dead man walking
Cm Cm
A dead man walking
[Verse]
Ab Ab
Russian roulette, I swear I don’t have many chances left
Cm Cm
No I should change, but man I swear I’d rather dance with death
Ab
I’m just a desperate soul
Ab
Another broken human
Cm
I know some stars are falling
Cm
I know some stars are shooting
Ab
I get so high
Ab
I’m froze in time
Cm Cm
Shattered pieces fell on the floor of a heart no longer pure
[Pre-Chorus]
Ab
Sunrise stayed up ‘til the morning
Ab
Eyes stay bloodshot from the smoking
Cm
Another round and I’m locked and loaded
Cm
Faith has faded
Ab
Living on the edge one foot in the coffin
Ab
Lord knows I don’t pray too often
Cm
Knees down when the devil come calling
Cm
Ain’t no saving
[Chorus]
Ab Ab
Dead man walking
Cm Cm
A dead man walking, ain’t no saving
Ab Ab
Dead man walking

A dead man walking

Cause I'm only one drink away from the devil
G G
I'm only one call away from home

I guess I'm just a little, right and wrong

These pills pretend to be my friend

Walked a million miles on broken glass

Talk to God and tell him what I think

At first, he's gonna hate me

But eventually, He'll save me
[Chorus]

There’s something broken inside of me

It doesn’t matter how hard I try
C F Am
I can’t forget about all the times

I cried myself to sleep
[Pre-Chorus]

I’m far away from better days
G C Am
But memories keep bringing me back here, the past is my enemy
[Chorus]
G Am
Take a look at what it did to me
C
Try my best to hold it in

Gone on that reposado

Sorrow is my only friend

I don’t wanna see tomorrow

So much regret, stuck in my head and I’m left with a hole that I can’t fill
Am C
Just like this empty bottle
F
My heart is hollow
[Instrumental]
Am C F Am C F
[Verse 2]
Am C
I try to ease the pain with this weed smoke
F
The only thing that helps when I need hope
Am C
Things look strange through a peephole
F
Life’s not a game with a cheat code
Am C
Man in the mirror right in front of me
F
All alone but I’m still in bad company
Am
Running from something for so long
C
I can’t even stomach the thought

Of trusting is crushing I just wish someone would love me

But memories keep bringing me back here

The past is my enemy

What’s wrong with me?
G
Is it something I can’t see?
Am Em
I pray one day I’ll get back on my feet

I can’t open up

I’m swore to secrecy

In the end I found just what I need
Em
And look at what it did to me
[Chorus]

Try my best to hold it in, gone on that reposado

[Intro]
Em C Am Em C Am
[Verse]
Em C Am
It’s getting really hard just to live these days
Em C Am
My life’s in a blur, I can’t see straight
Em C
It’s hard to play the hand that was dealt to me
Am
The past I’m running from won’t set me free
Em C A
I don’t think I’ll ever change these ways
[Pre-Chorus]
C Am
Took a wrong turn and now I’m lost
C D
Smoke still burns on every bridge I cross
[Chorus]
C Am
I’ve been down this road before
Em
It’s just not what it seems
D C Am
I’ve learned every open door,
Em D
Isn’t always what you need
C Am
Poverty laid to follow dreams
Em D C
I watch them fall like autumn leaves, and honestly
Am Em
Even angels cry
N.C.
Even angels
C Am Em
Cry
D C Am Em
Even angels cry
[Verse]
Em C
I been feeling pressure and I been feeling reckless
Am
Since I was an adolescent I could snap at any second
Em C
Long nights and adderall, cocaine and alcohol
Am
Mind racing my hearts dribbling like a basketball
Em C Am
And I feel like I’m going insane when I’m knowing there’s no way I will change
Em C
The angels that used to lead me now they torture my soul
Am
Feeling confusion as I’m moving towards this fork in the road
[Pre-Chorus]
C Am
Took a wrong turn and now I’m lost
C D
Smoke still burns on every bridge I cross
[Chorus]
C Am
I’ve been down this road before
Em
It’s just not what it seems
D C Am
I’ve learned every open door,
Em D
Isn’t always what you need
C Am
Poverty laid to follow dreams
Em D C
I watch them fall like autumn leaves, and honestly
Am Em
Even angels cry
D C Am Em
Even angels cry
