Dead Man Walking

Em


[Verse 1]
Em                        Em
She got eyes like a neon sign
                           Em
Stare ya down and make ya cry
                              Em
An iron will, and a thirst to kill
                                         Em
Ya wanna see her stuff? She gonna show ya
                                 Em
Her poison lips with the metal grips
                                     Em
She gonna pull you in and bleed ya dry
                                 Em
She never miss with her electric kiss
                                       Dm
Ya think you're tough, She gonna own ya


[Pre-Chorus]
Am
I fell for the Devil's daughter
B
I jumped in, yeah, I drank the water


[Chorus]
Em
So tell me doctor, can you fix my brain?
Dm
Cause everyone a' says I'm insane
Am
Help me loosen this ball and chain
G                             Bm
There's no use talking, I'm a dead man walking
Em
I was thirsty and I wanted more
Dm
Then she burned me with the Rebels' soul
Am
Tried to wall me in, I should have known
G                             Bm
There's no use talking, I'm a dead man walking

Am Bm

[Verse 2]
Em
She grinds you down, So you turn to dust
                            Em
Say your name and tell you lies
                                        Em
I got past her knife, I cut ya down to size
                                   Em
If ya try to run, She gonna find ya
                     Em                           Em
Ya never see her comin', So leave the engine runnin'
N.C.
She just a criminal
N.C.
She right behind ya


[Pre-Chorus]
Am
I fell for the Devil's daughter

I jump in, yeah, I drank the water

Tried to wall me in, I should have known
G                             Bm
There's no use talking, I'm a dead man walking


[Bridge]
N.C.
So lock me up, but throw away the key
N.C.
Cause I need shelter from the things I've seen
N.C.
Save me from a' this lethal company
         B
So I can breathe


[Pre-Chorus]
A                       A
Ya never see her comin', so leave the engine runnin'
A       A
She just a criminal
N.C.
She right behind ya

Just a dead man walking

A dead man

There's no use helping, I'm a dead man
