Chords

[Verse 1]
              Am
Well, I was walkin’ through some shops

        C
at the mall

         G
A gold Versace watch was hangin’ up on

      Em
the wall

           Am                        C
And no, I didn’t have the money to ball

                     G        Em
So I thought about takin’ it

             Am                   C
I saw this movie playin’ up in my head

          G                        Em
I walk outside and jack a Mercedes Benz

                     Am
Go drivin’ down the 5 and even though

        C
it’s pretend

              G       Em
Maybe I’m a maniac
[Pre-Chorus]
 F
If it were illegal to have evil in the mind

 G
And they cut me open
Wonder, would they be surprised?
 F
Or are there other people that are equally inclined

                      G
To think about the heinous things I think about
[Chorus]
 F          G
Is it only me?

Am         C        F
Is it unnatural to, to have these

 G            Am      C
thoughts sometimes?

 F     G           Am            C
Am I alone, am I some type of criminal?

   F                 G      Am
Oh, if they could read my mind

             C                   F
Would they lock me up for life?

  G                    Am
Lock me up for life?

                  C                 F
Oh, would they lock me up for life?

   G                     Am
Lock me up for life?
Mmmm [Verse 2]
                    Am
There’s things I wouldn’t even say to

     C
my shrink

              G
'Cause I’m ashamed of what the doctor

       Em
would think

                    Am
Like when I felt alone and hated my

  C
life

                       G        Em
So I thought about takin’ it

             Am                     C
I saw this movie playin’ up in my head

             G
Next to my casket were some family and

   Em
friends

            Am
And even though I know that’s not how

     C
it ends

                G           Em
There was no shakin’ it
[Pre-Chorus]
  F
If they forced a needle through a cortex in my brain

                      G
Wonder what they’d think, that maybe I had gone insane

                F
Or are there other people that are equally deranged

                       G
And think about the heinous things I think about
[Chorus]
 F       G   Am
Is it only me?

         C           F
Is it unnatural to, to have these

   G         Am      C
thoughts sometimes?

  F       G      Am              C
Am I alone, am I some type of criminal?

      F                  G        Am
Oh, if they could read my mind

             C               F
Would they lock me up for life?

   G             Am
Lock me up for life?

                  C           F
Oh, would they lock me up for life?

    G             Am
Lock me up for life?
Mmmm [Bridge]
   F                     G
Tell my mother that I love her
I’m not coming home from jail
  Am
I’m so sorry

    C
I’m so sorry

 F                          G
And tell my father not to bother

                         Am
Waste a dollar on my bail
I’m so sorry, hmm
   C
I’m so sorry
[Chorus]
 F      G      Am
Is it only me?

          C          F
Is it unnatural to, to have these

   G         Am
thoughts sometimes?

 F       G      Am               C
Am I alone, am I some type of criminal?

   F               G        Am
Oh, if they could read my mind

             C               F
Would they lock me up for life?

     G               Am
Lock me up for life?

                 C              F
Oh, would they lock me up for life?

      G                Am
Lock me up for life?
