[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][A][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
The jury [D]found
the verdict [Bm]first de[A]gree
They swore I planned her death to [D]be
I prayed they'd sentence me [Bm]to d[A]ie
But they wanted me to live and I know [D]why
So [Bm]I'd d[D]o

[Verse 2]
life in prison [Bm]for
the [A]wrongs [F#m]I've d[A]one
And I pray every night for death to [D]come
My life will be a burden [Bm]every [A]day

[Interlude 1]
If I could die, my pain might go away

[D][Bm][A][D][Bm][D]
[Bm][A][D][A][D]
With [Bm]tremb[D]ling

[Verse 3]
hands I killed
my [Bm]darling [A]wife
Because I loved her more than [D]life
My [Bm]love [D]for her will last a long, [Bm]long [A]time
But I'd rather die than
live to lose my mind
[D]

[Verse 4]
And [Bm]I'll [D]do life in prison [Bm]for
the [A]wrongs I've done
And pray every night for death to [D]come
[Bm]My life will b[D]e a burden every d[A]ay
If I could die, my pain might go away
[D]

[Verse 5]
If I could [A]die, my pain might go away
[D][Bm][D]
