[Verse 1]
Am
You cause nothing but trouble wherever you burn.
You’re the sunlight in my open eyes,
F
but I won't go blind today.
Am
Cause when liars lead minds with their
G D
wiles and clever distractions,
F
I see through them
[Verse 2]
Am
And I’ve got experience dealing with repeat offenders,
F
they swing from my branches, like unripened fruit,
found wanting when weighed.
Am
And with all of the evidence
G D
finally laid out in front of me,
F
I can almost taste
Am F
a confession, a confession.
[Verse 3]
Am
So if the court would stay quiet for only a second,
F
I’m pleased to make my case, and tell my story
Am G
but wait just a moment I’m passing a motion
D
I also am the judge, and the jury
F Am
You should worry, you should worry.
[Chorus 1]
Am C
Where are you leading us? all is malodorous evil
Bb F
The reddest of herrings is wearing a worrying scent
Am C
You ask if I’m serious why am I acting so gleeful?
Bb F
What do I want? Should you rather abscond or repent?
Am F
Abscond or repent? Settle the score?
Am
No lawyer needs a spider in their
G D F
corner shredding documents for sport.
[Verse 4]
Am
Now, deciding your fate is no simple matter
F
because part of me knows that I would miss you
Am G
but you’re so complicated, I couldn’t pin you down,
D F
and now you’re becoming an issue.
[Verse 5]
Am
Little thief on the run, I’m a witch hunt of one,
F
and the very first question I’ll ask in your interrogation
Am
was all of it, everything, just one big game?
G D F
And if so was it luck of the throw, your misrepresentation?
Am F
And subsequent incrimination, incrimination.
[Chorus 2]
Am C
While I was dreaming I learned a brand new way of seeing
Bb F
from a fetus, a mother, but also a beast and a ghost
Am C
you ask if I’m kidding, you’re having a hard time believing
Bb F
“Am I villain or victim? Why can’t I be neither, or both?”
Am F
Neither or both? It’s either/or.
Am G
It’s not multiple choice you stupid girl.
D F
Why don’t you break that magic eight ball,
Am
and give a coin a whirl?
F
Give a coin a whirl.
Am
Give into the law.
G D F
Confess, you silly girl.
