Dead Man (Carry Me)
Jars of Clay


Capo 4th Fret


Am                     C                      E
January 1, I've got a lot of things on my mind
    Am                           C                E
I'm looking at my body through a new spy satellite
Am                          C                          E
Try to lift a finger, but I don't think I can make the call
   Am                          C                        E
So tell me if I move, 'cause I don't feel anything at all

(Chorus)
    F             
So Carry Me, I'm just a dead man
C                     G
Lying on the carpet can't find a heartbeat
Am                  F             
Make me breathe, I want to be a new man
C                     G                   C
Tired of the old one out with the old plan

(Verse 2)
   Am                           C             E
I woke up from a dream about an empty funeral
           Am                            C                         E
But is was better than the party full of people I don't really know
            Am                             C                       E       
They've got hearts to break and burn dirty hands to feel the earth
        Am                           C                         E
There's something in my veins, but I can't seem to make it work... won't work

    F             
So Carry Me, I'm just a dead man
C                    G
Lying on the carpet can't find a heartbeat
Am                 F             
Make me breathe, I want to be a new man
C                    G                   C        F
Tired of the old one out with the old plan

(Bridge)
        C             Am
Can you find a beat inside of me?
       C                  
Any pulse? Getting worse?
      Am
Any pulse? Getting worse?
   C                  Am              G
Inside of me, can you find a beat?

F             
Carry Me, I'm just a dead man
C                    G
Lying on the carpet can't find a heartbeat
Am                 F             
Make me breathe, I want to be a new man
C                    G                                     
Tired of the old one out with the old plan
F             
Carry Me, I'm just a dead man
C                   G
Lying on the carpet can't find a heartbeat
Am                 F             
Make me breathe, I want to be a new man
C                    G                   C    Am         F      
Tired of the old one out with the old plan
