Verso 1: 
G           C              G 
I done some bad bad things 
                   C                      G 
The kind you don't bring up at confession 
          C                G 
Somewhere in my life, woah 
           C 
I took the wrong direction 
  D 
I swear on my soul 
         C 
I didn't want to hurt no one 
G            C           G 
But I got no way to justify 
G 
The things I done 


 
D 
If you're good at telling lies 
C7 
You could be my alibi 
    G               F            G 
And I won't have to atone for my sins 
D 
If you're good at telling lies 
C7 
You could be my alibi 
    G                       F               G 
And I won't have to the fall for where I've been 


Verso 2:

You done some bad bad things 
              C                     G 
The kind that don't bare to mention 
            C 
Something inside you died 
G                 C 
Now you need some ressurrection 
   D 
If you don't want to go down 
     C 
Just like the setting sun 
    G             C           G 
You got to find a way to reconcile 
G 
The things you done 


 
D 
If you're good at telling lies

D 
If you're good at telling lies 
C7 
You could be my alibi

And I won't have to the fall for where I've been

G            C                   G 
I swear some people in the world 
            C             G 
They got no moral compass 
           C           G 
I know the wicked ones 
            C 
I feel them walk among us 
    D 
The hangman begs for mercy 
     C 
Only when his time has come 
  G               C 
Because he got no way to 
   G 
Rectify the things he done

And I won't have to the fall for where I've been 
G                F                   G 
I won't take the fall for where I've been 
G                 F                   D 
I won't take that fall for where I've been, no
