THE WRONG MAN WAS CONVICTED - Barenaked Ladies
From the Album: Maybe You Should Drive
Capo 3rd fret
Em C G
Who's lonely now?
D C G
Which one of us is suffering?
Em C G
Who's in his cups?
D C G
Which one of us recovering?
D Em7
Who likes to look at pictures and
D Em7
cries, but way too late?
D Em7
Who doesn't want to change a thing,
Am7 D
accepting it was fate?
CHORUS:
D G C
The wrong man was convicted.
D G
You know, I did the deed.
C G
I thought that you would wait for me.
Am7 D
Your wants I needn't heed.
G C
The wrong man lies beside you
Em7 C
and waits for you to wake.
D C G
And all because I lacked conviction
Am7 D Em
the judgment's my mistake.
Em C G
Who's breathless now?
D C G
Who only hyperventilates?
Em C G
Who'd die for you?
D C G
Who's dying inside anyway?
D Em7
Which one of us is sunshine and
D Em7
which one's growing dim?
D Em7
While two men dream of you at night
Am7 D
do you just dream of him?
CHORUS
Dm F
Who's lonely now?
bflat C
Who's reaching out for no one?
Cadd9 Gm
Who's lonely now?
A D
It takes one to know one.
Em C G
I changed my mind;
D C G
You said that I could change it back.
Em C G
I wanted space,
D C G
and now change has fallen through the cracks.
D Em7
If I'm again beside your body,
D Em7
don't tell me where it's been.
D Em7
It's cruel, unusual punishment
Am7 D
to kiss fingerprinted skin.
CHORUS
D Em D Em
it's my mistake, it's my mistake.
