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.
