D D7 G7


[Verse 1]

D           D7
Tied to the ground
G7                G
I get no (heart) from listening
G7      D
to the sound
D
of voices colliding on the
G
telephone
D
so I can only hear you when
G
im alone

D7
forced to believe whoever's
G7
side im on
D7
caught at the wrong turn at the
G7
wrong place
G
why can you only fight
D       D7
face to face
G
I'll be your witness 'til im
  D
the fray
D7               G7
of everything you say

[Chorus]

D
I'll take the punishment
G7
You did the crime
D
Took fate in your own hands
G
And handed me mine
D            D7
I'll pay the consequеnces
G7
Harbour your lies

You'll have your freedom
G
And you'll hand my dеmise
D
Ooooh

[Verse 2]
D        D7
Grounds to doubt
G7
He took a bullet but he's
G      D7
Alright now
D                  D7
There was a motive was it
G        G7
Worth the cost?
D
A crime of passion for a
G   G7
Lost cause
G             G7
I'll take the loss


[Chorus]

D
I'll take the punishment
G7
You did the crime
D
Took fate in your own hands
G
And handed me mine
D            D7
I'll pay the consequеnces
G7
Harbour your lies
D
You'll have your freedom
G
And you'll hand my dеmise
D
Ooooh

[Bridge]
N.C
Plead no contest
D7
I'll take whatever
D
I can get
N.C
Whatever part of you is
G7
Left
D7
Plead no contest
D7
Something to say I'll
D
Plead my case
G
Don't worry I'm not dropping it

[Chorus]

D
I'll take the punishment
G7
You did the crime
D
Took fate in your own hands
G
And handed me mine
D            D7
I'll pay the consequеnces
G7
Harbour your lies
D
You'll have your freedom
G
And you'll hand my dеmise
D
Ooooh
