Life In Prison

C F

        F                       C
The jury found the verdict first degree
                                 F
They swore I planned her death to be
                              C
I prayed they'd sentence me to die
                                     F
But they wanted me to live and I know why

         F                      C
So I'd do life in prison for the wrongs I've done
                                   F
And I pray every night for death to come
                              C
My life will be a burden every day
                                F
If I could die, my pain might go away
[Instrumental] F C C F   x2

              F                         C
With trembling hands I killed my darling wife
                             F
Because I loved her more than life
                                      C
My love for her will last a long, long time
                                       F
But I'd rather die than live to lose my mind

           F                      C
And I'll do life in prison for the wrongs I've done
                                   F
And I pray every night for death to come
                              C
My life will be a burden every day
                                F
If I could die, my pain might go away
          C                     F     C F
If I could die, my pain might go away...
