Punishment

A                       Em7         Bm7 
Take all my money, but leave me my soul 
Dm7           C         Bm7      E7 
Burn down my house, I'm ready to go 
A                       Em7         Bm7 
Backwards, but without plans to regress 
Dm7           C            Bm7          E7 
You can have all of me, a pound of my flesh 

        A 
'Cause Mama 
Dm7                              C 
I was told that punishment will come to 
Bm7              E7                  A 
Those of us who don't do what we're made to 
    Dm7                        C 
But how on earth is anyone to know 
Bm7               E7            A 
If the lane you travel is your own? 

A                          Em7      Bm7 
Take all my blood out and bottle it up 
    Dm7           C               Bm7       E7 
If you'd like to try a sip, I'll grab you a cup 
A                  Em7          Bm7 
Open my skull and play with my brain 
Dm7          C                  Bm7          E7 
Poke around all you wish, just free me from pain 

        A
