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

So I [G]thought about takin’ [Em]it

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

[G]I walk outside and jack a [Em]Mercedes Benz

[Am]Go drivin’ down the 5 and even though

[C]it’s pretend

[G]Maybe I’m a maniac [Em]

[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]Is it [G]only me?

[Am]Is it [C]unnatural [F]to, to have these

[G]thoughts [Am]some[C]times?

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

[F]Oh, if they could [G]read my [Am]mind

Would they [C]lock me up for [F]life?

[G]Lock me up for [Am]life?

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

Lock me up for [Am]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

So I [G]thought about takin’ [Em]it

[Am]I saw this movie playin’ up [C]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]There was no shakin’ [Em]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]Is it [G]only [Am]me?

Is it [C]unnatural [F]to, to have these

[G]thoughts [Am]some[C]times?

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

[F]Oh, if they could [G]read my [Am]mind

Would they [C]lock me up for [F]life?

[G]Lock me up for [Am]life?

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

Lock me up for [Am]life?

Mmmm

[Bridge]

[F]Tell my mother that I love her

[G]I’m not coming home from jail

[Am]I’m so sorry

[C]I’m so sorry

[F]And tell my father not to bother

[G]Waste a dollar on my bail

[Am]I’m so sorry, hmm

[C]I’m so sorry

[Chorus]

[F]Is it [G]only [Am]me?

[C]Is it [F]unnatural to, to have these

[G]thoughts [Am]sometimes?

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

[F]Oh, if they could [G]read my [Am]mind

Would they [C]lock me up for [F]life?

[G]Lock me up for [Am]life?

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

Lock me up for [Am]life?
