And gave new life to what was frozen

One mouth talking
Am
A dead man walking

A thousand faces watched me falling —

I’ve made my peace with what may happen

Accepted I won’t be in fashion

Oh you gave, I got it
Am G
Yeh you gave, I got it all back
G
Since I saw you last

While everybody’s losing heart

Lying in the longest grass I sit and wait
