THE WRONG MAN WAS CONVICTED  -  Barenaked Ladies 
  
>From the Album: Maybe You Should Drive 
Capo 3rd fret 
  
Em            C G 
Who's lonely now? 
D                  C     G 
Which one of us is suffering? 
Em           C  G 
Who's in his cups? 
D                 C   G 
Which one of us recovering? 
D             Em7 
Who likes to look at pictures and 
D                  Em7 
cries, but way too late? 
D                   Em7 
Who doesn't want to change a thing, 
Am7               D 
accepting it was fate? 
  
  
CHORUS: 
D          G            C 
The wrong man was convicted. 
    D                G 
You know, I did the deed. 
   C                               G 
I thought that you would wait for me. 
         Am7                D 
Your wants I needn't heed. 
                 G                C 
The wrong man lies beside you 
       Em7                 C 
and waits for you to wake. 
            D                            C  G 
And all because I lacked conviction 
     Am7            D   Em 
the judgment's my mistake. 
  
  
  
Em                       C G 
Who's breathless now? 
        D             C    G 
Who only hyperventilates? 
Em                C  G 
Who'd die for you? 
           D                C   G 
Who's dying inside anyway? 
D                          Em7 
Which one of us is sunshine and 
D                            Em7 
which one's growing dim? 
 D                                 Em7 
While two men dream of you at night 
    Am7                    D 
do you just dream of him? 
  
CHORUS 
  
Dm               F 
Who's lonely now? 
          bflat        C 
Who's reaching out for no one? 
Cadd9           Gm 
Who's lonely now? 
   A                          D 
It takes one to know one. 
  
Em                C  G 
I changed my mind; 
       D                      C           G 
You said that I could change it back. 
Em               C  G 
I wanted space, 
              D                        C               G 
and now change has fallen through the cracks. 
D               Em7 
If I'm again beside your body, 
D                               Em7 
don't tell me where it's been. 
D                  Em7 
It's cruel, unusual punishment 
   Am7                    D 
to kiss fingerprinted skin. 
  
CHORUS 
  
D            Em   D             Em 
it's my mistake, it's my mistake.
