An Innocent Man Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Some people stay far away from the door
If there's a [Am]chance of it opening up
[C]They hear a voice in the hal[D]l outside
And hope that it just passes [G]by
Some people live with the fear of a touch
And the [Am]anger of having been a fool
[C]They will not listen to any[D]one
So nobody tells them a [G]lie

[Pre-chorus 1]
[Dm]I know you're only protect[G]ing yourself
[F]I know you're thinking of som[C]ebody else
[D]Someone who hurt you

[Verse 2]
But [G]I'm not above
Making up for the love
You've been de[Am]nying you could ever feel
[C]I'm not above doing any[D]thing
To restore your faith if I [G]can
Some people see through the eyes of the old
Before they [Am]ever get a look at the young
[C]I'm only willing to hea[D]r you cry

[Chorus 1]
Because I am an innocent
[G](man)[C][G][C][D]
[G][C][G][Am][G]
I [F]am [C]an innoc[C]ent man[F][C]
[D]Oh yes I am
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]Some people say they will never believe
Another [Am]promise they hear in the dark
[C]Because they only remem[D]ber too well
They heard somebody tell them be[G]fore
Some people sleep all alone every night
Instead of [Am]taking a lover to bed
[C]Some people find that it's eas[D]ier to hate
Than to wait any[G]more

[Pre-chorus 2]
[Dm]I know you don't want to hear [G]what I say
[F]I know you're gonna keep tur[C]ning awa[D]y

[Verse 4]
But I've been there and if [G]I can survive
I can keep you alive
I'm not a[Am]bove going through it again
[C]I'm not above being coo[D]l for a while
If you're cruel to me I'll under[G]stand
Some people run from a possible fight
Some people [Am]figure they can never win
[C]And although this is a fig[D]ht I can lose

[Chorus 2]
The accused is an innocent
[G](man)[C][G][C][D]
[G][C][G][Am][G]
I [F]am [C]an innocent man[F][C]
[D]Oh yes I am
[G]An [C]inn[G]oce[C]nt man[D]
[G][C][G][Am][G]

[Pre-chorus 3]
[Dm]You know you only hurt yourself [G]out of spite
[F]I guess you'd rather be a mar[C]tyr ton[D]ight

[Verse 5]
That's your decision but [G]I'm not below
Anybody I know
If there's a [Am]chance of resurrecting a love
[C]I'm not above going bac[D]k to the start
To find out where the heartache be[G]gan
Some people hope for a miracle cure
Some people [Am]just accept the world as it is
[C]But I'm not willing to lay[D] down and die

[Chorus 3]
Because I am an innocent
[G](man)[C][G][C][D]
[G][C][G][Am][G]
I [F]am [C]an innocent man[F][C]
[D]Oh yes I am
[G]An [C]inn[G]oce[C]nt man[D]
[G]Oh-[C]ho-[G]ho-[Am]ho[G][D]
[G][G][G][G]
[G]
