Singing and Playing:
-VERSE1-
Gm
You see my hands are steady
Gm
You've seen my face before
F
Soon you can take your last look
Eb
And they'll close the door
Gm
I stand accused before you
Gm
I have no tears to cry
F
And you will never break me
Eb
'Til the day I die!
-CHORUS-
Gm Dm
A criminal mind is all I
Gm Dm
All I've ever known
Eb Cm
They tried to reform me
F
But I'm made of cold stone
Gm Dm
My criminal mind is all I
Gm Dm
All I've ever had
Eb Cm
Ask one who's known me
F
If I'm really so bad
Gm
I am!
-VERSE2-
Gm
I've spent my life behind these steel bars
Gm
I've paid my debt in time
F
But being brought to justice
Eb
That was my only crime
Gm
I don't regret a single action
Gm
I'd do the same again
F
These prison walls secure me
Eb
And I'm numb to pain
-CHORUS-
Gm Dm
A criminal mind is all I
Gm Dm
All I've ever known
Eb Cm
They tried to reform me
F
But I'm made of cold stone
Gm Dm
My criminal mind is all I
Gm Dm
All I've ever had
Eb Cm
Ask one who's known me
F
If I'm really so bad
Gm
I am!
-VERSE3-
Gm
Before you hand me over
Gm
Before you read my sentence
F
I'd like to say a few words
Eb
Here in my own defense
Gm
Some people struggle daily
Gm
They struggle with their conscience to the end
F
I have no guilt to haunt me
Eb
I feel the wrong intent
-CHORUS-
Gm Dm
A criminal mind is all I
Gm Dm
All I've ever known
Eb Cm
Don't try to reform me
F
Cuz I'm made of cold stone
Gm Dm
My criminal mind is all I
Gm Dm
All I've ever had
Eb Cm
Ask one who's known me
F
If I'm really so bad
Gm
I am!
