[Verse 1]
F C The jury found the verdict first degree F They swore I planned her death to be C I prayed they sentence me to die F But they wanted me to live and I know why
[Chorus]
F C So I do life in prison for the wrongs I've done F And I pray every night for death to come C My life will be a burden every day F If I could die my pain might go away
[Solo]

[Verse 2]
F C Insane with rage I took my darling's life F Because I loved her more than life C My dreams for her will last a long long time F But I'd rather die than live to lose my mind
[Chorus]
F C But I've got life in prison for the wrongs I've done F And I pray every night for death to come C My life will be a burden every day F If I could die my pain might go away C F C F If I could die my pain might go away
