Title: The Wrong Man Was Convicted Artist: Barenaked Ladies Album: Maybe You Should Drive [Verse]
Em           Am         D            C    G
Who's lonely now? Which one of us is suffering?

Em           Am          D           C   G
Who's in his cups? Which one of us recovering?

Bm           Em                   Bm                 Em
Who likes to look at pictures and cries, but way too late?

Bm                  Em                Am             D
Who doesn't want to change a thing, accepting it was fate?
[Chorus]
          G          C
The wrong man was convicted

    D              G
You know I did the deed

  C                      G
I thought that you would wait for me

     Am              D
Your wants I needn't heed

          G          C
The wrong man lies beside you

    Em               Am
And waits for you to wake

    C     D                 C  G
And all because I lacked conviction

    C          D     Em
The judgment's my mistake
[Verse]
Em               Am       D         C    G
Who's breathless now? Who only hyperventilates?

Em            Am         D            C  G
Who'd die for you? Who's dying inside anyway?

Bm                 Em           Bm                  Em
Which one of us is sunshine and which one's growing dim?

Bm                    Em               Am                D
When two men dream of you at night, do you just dream of him?
[Chorus]
          G          C
The wrong man was convicted

    D              G
You know I did the deed

  C                      G
I thought that you would wait for me

     Am              D
Your wants I needn't heed

          G          C
The wrong man lies beside you

    Em               Am
And waits for you to wake

    C     D                 C  G
And all because I lacked conviction

    C          D     Em
The judgment's my mistake
[Bridge]
Dm    Em     F
Who's lonely now?

      A#              C       Cm
Who's reaching out to no one?

             Gm
Who's lonely now?

   A                 D
It takes one to know one
[Verse]
Em           Am        D                 C         G
I changed my mind; you said that I could change it back

Em       Am             D                 C           G
I wanted space, and now change has fallen through the cracks

Bm             Em              Bm                       Em
If I'm again beside your body, don't tell me where it's been

Bm            Em                  Am                 D
It's cruel, unusual punishment to kiss fingerprinted skin
[Chorus]
          G          C
The wrong man was convicted

    D              G
You know I did the deed

  C                      G
I thought that you would wait for me

     Am              D
Your wants I needn't heed

          G          C
The wrong man lies beside you

    Em               Am
And waits for you to wake

    C     D                 C  G
And all because I lacked conviction

    C          D     Em
The judgment's my mistake
It's my mistake
