Em Bm
The big day has come
A G
the bell is sounding
Em Bm A G
I run my hands through my hair one last time
Em Bm
outside the prison walls
A G
the town is gathering
Em Bm A G
people are trading crime for crime

Em D Bm C Em D Bm C
[Verse]
Em Bm
everyone needs to see the prisoner
A G
they need to make it even easier
Em Bm A G
they see me as a symbol, and not a human being
Em Bm
that way they can kill me
A G
say it's not murder, it's a metaphor
Em Bm
we are killing off our own failure
A G
and starting clean

standing in the gallows
A G
everyone turned my way
Em Bm
i hear a voice ask me
A G
if i've got any last words to say
Em Bm A G
and i'm looking out over the field of familiar eyes
Em Bm A G
somewhere in a woman's arms a baby cries

[Verse]
Em Bm
I think guilt and innocence
A G
they are a matter of degree
Em Bm
what might be justice to you
A G
might not be justice to me
Em Bm
I went to far, i'm sorry
A G
I guess now i'm going home
Em Bm
so let he amongst you
A G
Cast the first stone

[Verse]
Em Bm
now we've got all these complicated machines
Em Bm A G
so no one person ever has to have blood on their hands
Em Bm
we've got complex organizations
A G
and if everyone just does their job
Em Bm
no one person has to understand
A G
you might be the wrong color
Em Bm
you might be too poor
A G
justice isn't something just anyone can afford
Em Bm
you might not pull the trigger
A G
you might be out in the car
Em Bm
and you might get a lethal injection
A G
'cause we take a metaphor that far
