Life In Prison

	  		
Intro: C F 

verse 1 
        F                       C         
The jury found the verdict first degree 
                                 F 
They swore I planned her death to be 
                              C 
I prayed they'd sentence me to die 
                                     F 
But they wanted me to live and I know why 

         F                      C 
So I'd do life in prison for the wrongs I've done 
                                   F 
And I pray every night for death to come 
                              C 
My life will be a burden every day 
                                F 
If I could die, my pain might go away

verse 2 
              F                         C 
With trembling hands I killed my darling wife 
                             F 
Because I loved her more than life 
                                      C 
My love for her will last a long, long time 
                                       F 
But I'd rather die than live to lose my mind 

           F                      C 
And I'll do life in prison for the wrongs I've done 
                                   F 
And I pray every night for death to come 
                              C 
My life will be a burden every day 
                                F 
If I could die, my pain might go away 
          C                     F     C F 
If I could die, my pain might go away...
