Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]What the hell was I doing there
In that [C]fast- food parking [G]lot
They say I robbed the restaurant
and a [D]Memphis cop got shot
I was [C]trying to feed my [Em]habit
I was [C]scared and I was [Em]high
It was [C]never my inten[Em]tion
That [D]anyone [G]should die

[Verse 2]
Just how [C]many of us are [G]innocent enough
Just how [C]many of us are [G]innocent enough
Just how [C]many of us are [D]innocent [G]enough
My [C]name is Philip Workman
And I'm not [D]innocent enough
[G]

[Verse 3]
[G]It's not a long walk from a trailer park
to a [C]Tennessee cell [G]block
But I got saved behind these bars
Soon [D]I'll give my soul to God
Reverend [C]Joe is praying [Em]for me
And the [C]family left be[Em]hind
They say my [C]bullet took [Em]his life
but that [D]bullet was not [G]mine

[Verse 4]
Just how [C]many of us are [G]innocent enough
Just how [C]many of us are [G]innocent enough
Just how [C]many of us are [D]innocent [G]enough
My [C]name is Philip Workman
And I'm not [D]innocent enough
[G]

[Verse 5]
I had no money for a lawyer
To fight the [C]system from with[G]in
There's no justice for the poor
From the [D]witness they brought in
[C]Circumstance and ran[Em]dom chance
I never [C]meant to do no [Em]harm
Now that [C]cop and I,
[Em]we've both died
from that [D]needle in my [G]arm

[Verse 6]
And there where [C]those
who called for [Em]mercy
[D]In those final [G]days
Even the [C]of ficer's daugh[Em]ter
[D]cried to grant me stay
but I'm not [C]innocent enough
I'm not [G]innocent enough
I'm not [C]innocent enough
I'm not [D]innocent [G]enough

[Verse 7]
Just how [C]many of us are [G]innocent enough
Just how [C]many of us are [G]innocent enough
Just how [C]many of us are [D]innocent [G]enough
My [C]name is Philip Workman
And I'm not [D]innocent [G]enough
