[Intro]
D Dmaj7 D6 A
D Dmaj7 D7 D/A G
I must have done something bad, some- time in my life
D A
And I paid for it time and a- gain
D D7 G
But this time you've hurt me so bad, I could lay down and die
D A D A D A
And the pain grows each day, ten times ten times ten
D G
If I thought my hand was against you, why I'd cut off arm
D A
And I'd walk off and leave it be- hind
D G
And if I thought that you needed money, why I'd sell my own soul
A D A D A
And I'd even steal from the poor and the blind
D G
I can't understand how ice can glitter like fire
D A
Why you had me fooled all a- lone
D G
I gave you all I had then and searched around for more
D A D A D A
And now I have nothing at all and you're gone
D G
I must have done something bad sometime in my life
D A D
And I paid for it time and a- gain and a- gain
