This is a really cool song, and I just thought that I'd put up some more
accurate and easy to play chords for anyone out there wanting to play around
with it (I only stumbled across it because i'm wanting to play it at a gig
this weekend!)
Anyway, the band's great, so you should check out some of their other songs
too :) 
Hope this helps ;)





Capo 4



Intro:
Am  C  Em  Em   (x2)


Verse1:
Am                     C                      Em
January 1, I've got a lot of things on my mind
    Am                           C                Em
I'm looking at my body through a new spy satellite
Am                          C                          Em
Try to lift a finger, but I don't think I can make the call
   Am                          C                        Em
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  Em  Am  G  F      
Tired of the old one out with the old plan


Interlude:
Am  C  Em  Em


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


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  Em  Am  G  [C  Bb]    
Tired of the old one out with the old plan


Bridge:
        C             Bb
Can you find a beat inside of me?
       C                  
Any pulse? Getting worse?
      Bb
Any pulse? Getting worse?
   C                  Bb            Bb
Inside of me, can you find a beat?


Final Chorus:
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  Em  Am  G  F      
Tired of the old one out with the old plaa-aa-aaa-aa-aa-an
