_ [G] _ _ [E] I'm _ _ _ [G] just a dead [Em] weight. _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[G] I _ _ [Em] _ live life like a renegade drifter.
_ I lose myself on the open road.
Run up on the pains of a sinner.
_ Cos he's no band [G]-aid for a broken [E] soul.
_ I'm just a stateroom, not the best of me.
I scream and pray every day, [G] but it moves the [E] light.
Cos now there ain't too [G] much left of me.
But they slow it [Em] down till I'm just a five.
_ Inside on the bed, I stand a-swingin' at the bottom of a [E] hangman's rope.
Maybe it's a sad plant dream and I'm a [G] madman screamin',
[E] But I can't stop believin' there's hope, hope.
[Em] _ Like a dead man walkin' back from the grave,
Before I went home.
_ [C] Everything I love is dead and gone.
Every [D] night I sing this dead man song.
I [E] got held on a trigger, got a violent attack,
And I'm right where I belong.
In [C] between heaven and being dead wrong,
From [D] here until I'm dead and gone.
Dead man [E] _ walkin' house. _ _
_ [G] _ [E] Yeah. _ _ _ _
[Em] _ Dead man walkin' house. Yeah.
_ [G] _ _ [E] _ _ _ That's the [Em] long one.
_ This life has kept me fairly holdin' by a single thread.
Grippin' on [E] my business, squeezing triggers till my fingers red.
A lot of folks, they let it judge and nudge, and [G] then they hate to hear.
[E] Hypocrisy don't get a shit, no common sense, and pain to deal.
Name-callin' them pointy fingers, they layin' blame, but don't bother me.
Long as y'all don't touch me and my family and my property.
[C] My property, what do I cheat?
In the ground, I probably be, [E] but I'm standin' up and I'm raised to hell.
So [D] won't you come and follow me?
I'm a call it up, pissed off, cracker in the cage.
[E] Get you one corn, missed call, take you to the grave.
[C] I guess I'll take the mask off [C] and let you dig it,
[A] But the lookin' didn't last long, [Em] cause bitchin' muggin'.
[E] Can't bend it, and I'll cut you to the bone.
Now the cover's been blown, I'm [Em] supposed to be alone.
[C] Like a hillbilly in Trinket Hill, [C] I don't know where it goes.
[D] But I keep singin' the song, and I stuck it under a stone.
[Em] Like a dead man walkin' back from the grave,
That's how I went home.
_ [C] Everything I love is dead and gone.
Every [D] night I sing this dead man song.
I [Em] got [E] hell on a trigger, got a violent attack,
And I'm right where [Em] I belong.

From [D] here until I'm dead and gone.
I'm a dead man [E] walkin', rockin' the song.

[F#] _
_ _ _ In the end, [G] it was comfort that brought me down.
_ I got comfortable.
_ [B] _ Comfortable with life. _ _
Comfortable with how [Em] strong I thought I was. _ _
But every man must fall.
[D] _
Eventually.
[Em] _ _ I did a lot of bad things.
_ Hurt a lot of [D] people. _ _
[Em] I lost everything because of it. _ _
Now I walk this [A] desert, my _ [Em]
prison, my punishment.

But I'll find my way home. _ _ _
_ Eventually.
