[Verse 1]
A
 I sing a ragged and crooked song
D
 The sun is setting and it won't be long
A
 My body's weak but this soul is strong
      E
 I am shadow dressed up in these skin and bones
A
 We weave our story in a worthless yarn
D
 Trying to escape with all these tricks and charms
A
 It's far too late to ring the alarm
             E
 We are just babies falling into the spider's arms


[Chorus]
       F                          D
I am a dead body moving, I've got lightning in my hand
       F                        D
I won't be here for long so you got to understand
       F                               D
You can dance with the demon, look him dead into the eyes
     E
Man, I've already been where we go when we die


[Post-chorus]
A   C            D   E
      When we die      When we die
A   C            D   E
      When we die


[Verse 2]
A
 We are dancing on the graves of the past
D
 The clock is running and the spell is cast
A
 Nothing before our eyes will last
            E
 We walk forever in circles on this well-worn path
         A
 So many songs to sing before they blow those horns
D
 Will it be harvest or a killing storm
A
 No time to bury and no time to mourn
      E
 This race it was started on the day I was born


[Chorus]
       F                          D
I am a dead body moving, I've got lightning in my hand
       F                        D
I won't be here for long so you got to understand
       F                               D
You can dance with the demon, look him dead into the eyes
     E
Man, I've already been where we go when we die


[Post-chorus]
A   C            D   E
      When we die      When we die
A   C            D   E
      When we die

[Chorus]
       F                          D
I am a dead body moving, I've got lightning in my hand
       F                        D
I won't be here for long so you got to understand
       F                               D
You can dance with the demon, look him dead into the eyes
     E
Man, I've already been where we go when we die
