The Wrong Man Was Convicted

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?

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?

Who's lonely now?

bflat C

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.

it's my mistake, it's my mistake.
