[Intro 1]
[Am][A][Am][A][Am][A][Am]
[A][Am]

[Verse 1]
There's a blind man [Am]in
the wit[Asus4]ness stan[A]d[Am][A]
With three young [Am]men's [Asus4]lives
in his hand[A]s[Am]
There's a poor boy who stood
[A]at the scene
Who'll be haunted by [Asus4]the dirty thing
[Am]s he's seen
[A][Am]

[Verse 2]
[A]
It's a shame all [Am]the jury knew
the ac[Asus4]cused[Am]
'Cause now they're running free when they
[Asus4]left her [A]cold and [Am]bruised
There's a chalked white line
stained with [A]blood[Am]

[Verse 3]
Sorry Mr. Jones, we did all we could
[Em]There's a whole lot of peopl[G]e out there
and they're [D]all running [C]free
[Em]Some will care [G]and some will steal
[D]the last breath that [C]you breathe
[A]From [Am]you, [Asus4]from[Am]
[A]you[Am][A][Asus4][Am]

[Verse 4]
[Am]So Mr. J[A]ones i[Am]n a cruel
[A]twist [Am]of fate
Found the perpetrators [Asus4]in
[A]a drunk[Am]en haze
Gave them retribution for
their twis[A]ted [Am]ways
[A]Now he's going [Am]down
[A]for years in[Am]stead of days

[Verse 5]
[Em]There's a whole lot of peopl[G]e out there
and they're a [D]wild and restless [C]sea,
[Em]Some will care [G]and some will steal [D]the last
breath that [C]you breathe [A]from [Am]you
[A]From [Am]you, [Asus4]from you[Am][A]
