[Verse 1]
Am      F               | G F |
 I have nothing left to say

Am       F              | G F |
 But I'm gonna say it anyway

Am      F             | G F |
 Thirty years upon a stage

Am              F         | G             F |
 And I hear the people say: “Why won't he go away?”
[Verse 2]
Am          F             | G F |
 I pass the houses of the dead

Am               F                | G F |
 They're calling me to join their group

Am   F              | G F |
 But I stagger on instead
[Bridge]
Am        Ab+
 Dear God, sweet God

   C/G              Am/F#
Protect me from the truth, hey
[Chorus]
Am            F               G          F
 I'm dead but I don't know it (He's dead, he's dead)

Am            F            G          F
 I'm dead but I don't know (He's dead, he's dead)

Am            F               G          F
 I'm dead but I don't know it (He's dead, he's dead)

Am N.C.
 Please don't tell me so, let me, let me, let me go

Am        F           | G F |
 I have a family to support

Am           F           | D/F# G G F |
 But surely, that is no excuse

Am            F           | G F |
 I've nothing further to report
[Bridge]
Am        Ab+
 Time you spend with me

C/G          Am/F#
 Is time you lose
[Middle 8]
E7
 I always thought that I would know

            Am            F F/E | Am   F F/E |
When it was time to quit

E7
 That when I lost a step or two or three or four or five

    | Am      F F/E | Am   F F/E |
I'd notice it

F
 Now that I've arrived here safely

          | Am            F F/E | Am   F F/E |
I find my talent has gone

E7
 Why do I go on and on and on and on and on and on?

    E7
And on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on?

    E7
And on and on and on and on and on?
[Chorus]
Am         F          G          F
(He's dead, he's dead, he's dead) I don't know it

Am         F          G          F
(He's dead, he's dead, he's dead) I didn't know

Am         F          G          F
(He's dead, he's dead, he's dead) I didn't know it

Am N.C.
Who would be so cruel to tell me so? (You're dead!) Ow!

[Verse 4]
Am           F              | G F |
 When will I end this bitter game?

Am           F               | G F |
 When will I end this cruel charade?

Am            F                   | G F |
 Everything I write all sounds the same
[Bridge]
     Am              Ab+
Each record that I'm making

          C/C              Am/F#
Is like a record that I've made
N.C. Just not as good ... [Chorus]
Am            F               G          F
 I'm dead but I don't know it (He's dead, he's dead)

Am            F            G          F
 I'm dead but I don't know (He's dead, he's dead)

Am            F               G          F
 I'm dead but I don't know it (He's dead, he's dead)

Am N.C.                                        G          Am
 Please don't tell me so, please don't tell me so (You're dead!)
