[Verse]
G#mOfficer, let me just speak my mind
G#mI really didn′t mean to put my life on the line
G#mYou see
G#mHe told me that, told me that he'd be true
G#mSo try to walk a mile in my worn out shoes
G#mHe said
G#mBaby I have no regrets
G#mPut your hands behind your back, for you are under arrest
G#mAs he read me my rights, the world it left me behind
G#mI thought about the things that made me do my time
F#I might have taken it a bit too far
G#mEThey found his body in the back of my car
G#mF#You should have seen the way he cried and cried
G#mF#Begging for mercy with my knife in his side
G#mF#If you had seen the things that I had seen
C#mG#mF#You′d be here now for the exact same thing
G#mF#I will get inside your light up ride
FmCause I was born to die
ED#G#mD#mG#mYour honor please, I don't know what to say
G#mC#mI never would have done it, but he needed to pay
F#mYou see
G#mI saw him there, saw him there in the nude
G#mHer legs around his waist, oh what was I to do?
G#mShe said
G#mBaby, you're sentenced to death
G#mYour story isn′t new here, you should save your breath
G#mI was walked to the right, under the exit sign
G#mI thought about the things that made me do my time
F#I might have taken it a bit too far
C#mEThey found his body in the back of my car
G#mF#You should have seen the way he cried and cried
FmG#mEBegging for mercy with my knife in his side
G#mF#If you had seen the things that I had seen
FmEYou′d be here now for the exact same thing
G#mF#I will take your sentence in my stride
G#mFmCause I was born to die
G#mC#mG#mStrap me to the table
C#mIt's time to begin
G#mInject me with your needle
C#mI won′t repent to my sin
G#m. C#m
Strap me to the table
G#mIt's time to begin
G#mInject me with your needle
G#mI won′t repent to my sin
G#mD#He had it coming baby
F#C#mHe had it coming baby
EC#mHe had it coming baby
I might have taken it a bit too far
C#mEThey found his body in the back of my car
G#mF#You should have seen the way he cried and cried
FmG#mEBegging for mercy with my knife in his side
G#mIf you had seen the things that I had seen
EYou'd be here now for the exact same thing
G#mSo maybe this is suicide
G#mI won′t regret or try to hide
C#mD#My final breath I close my eyes
G#mCause I was born to die
