None of them
Am Em Am Em It all began when they took me from my home and put me on Am Em Am Em Death Row, a crime for which I’m totally innocent, you know. Am Em Am Em I began to warm and chill to objects and their fields, Am Em Am Em a ragged cup, a twisted mop, the face of Jesus in my soup, Am Em Am Em those sinister dinner deals, the meal trolley's wicked wheels, Am Em a hooked bone rising from my food, Am Em and all things either good or ungood. Am E And the mercy seat is waiting, and I think my head is burning, C G Bb and in a way I'm yearning to be done with all this weighing of the truth. An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth, F Am Em Am Em and anyway I told the truth, and I'm not afraid to die. Am E C I hear stories from the chamber, Christ was born into a manger, G and like some ragged stranger he died upon the cross. Bb Might I say it seems so fitting in its way, F Am Em Am Em he was a carpenter by trade, or at least that's what I'm told. Am Em Am Em My kill-hands tatooed E.V.I.L. across it's brother's fist, Am Em Am Em that filthy five! They did nothing to challenge or resist. Am E In Heaven His throne is made of gold, C the ark of His Testament is stowed, G a throne from which I'm told all history does unfold. Bb It's made of wood and wire, and my body is on fire F Am and God is never far away. E C Into the mercy seat I climb, my head is shaved, my head is wired, G and like a moth that tries to enter the bright eye, Bb I go shuffling out of life, just to hide in death a while, F Am and anyway I never lied. E And the mercy seat is waiting, and I think my head is burning, C G Bb and in a way I'm yearning to be done with all this weighing of the truth. An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth, F Am and anyway I told the truth, and I'm not afraid to die. E And the mercy seat is burning, and I think my head is glowing, C G Bb and in a way I'm hoping to be done with all this twisting of the truth. An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth, F Am and anyway there was no proof, and I'm not afraid to die. E And the mercy seat is glowing, and I think my head is smoking, C G Bb and in a way I'm hoping to be done with all these looks of disbelief. A life for a life, and a truth for a truth, F Am and I’ve got nothing left to lose, and I’m not afraid to die. E And the mercy seat is smoking, and I think my head is melting, C G Bb and in a way that’s helping to be done with all this twisting of the truth. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, F Am and anyway I told the truth, but I’m afraid I told a lie. ( Am E C G Bb F Am ) (3x)
