THE WRONG MAN WAS CONVICTED - Barenaked Ladies
>From the Album: Maybe You Should Drive
Capo 3rd fret
Who s lonely now?
Which one of us is suffering?
Who s in his cups?
Which one of us recovering?
Who likes to look at pictures and
cries, but way too late?
Who doesn t want to change a thing,
accepting it was fate?
CHORUS:
The wrong man was convicted.
You know, I did the deed.
I thought that you would wait for me.
Your wants I needn t heed.
The wrong man lies beside you
and waits for you to wake.
And all because I lacked conviction
the judgment s my mistake.
Who s breathless now?
Who only hyperventilates?
Who d die for you?
Who s dying inside anyway?
Which one of us is sunshine and
which one s growing dim?
While two men dream of you at night
do you just dream of him?
CHORUS
Who s lonely now?
bflat
Who s reaching out for no one?
Who s lonely now?
It takes one to know one.
I changed my mind;
You said that I could change it back.
I wanted space,
and now change has fallen through the cracks.
If I m again beside your body,
don t tell me where it s been.
It s cruel, unusual punishment
to kiss fingerprinted skin.
CHORUS
it s my mistake, it s my mistake.
