Lock Me Up For Life chords by Alec Benjamin

Verse 1:
              Am
Well, I was walkin’ through some shops
        C
at the mall
         G
A gold Versace watch was hangin’ up on
      Em
the wall
           Am                        C
And no, I didn’t have the money to ball
                     G        Em
So I thought about takin’ it
             Am                   C
I saw this movie playin’ up in my head
          G                        Em
I walk outside and jack a Mercedes Benz
                     Am
Go drivin’ down the 5 and even though
        C
it’s pretend
              G       Em
Maybe I’m a maniac

Pre-Chorus:
 F
If it were illegal to have evil in the mind
 G
And they cut me open

Wonder, would they be surprised?
 F
Or are there other people that are equally inclined
                      G
To think about the heinous things I think about


Chorus:
 F          G
Is it only me?
Am         C        F
Is it unnatural to, to have these
 G            Am      C
thoughts sometimes?
 F     G           Am            C
Am I alone, am I some type of criminal?
   F                 G      Am
Oh, if they could read my mind
             C                   F
Would they lock me up for life?
  G                    Am
Lock me up for life?
                  C                 F
Oh, would they lock me up for life?
   G                     Am
Lock me up for life?

Mmmm


Verse 2:
                    Am
There’s things I wouldn’t even say to
     C
my shrink
              G
'Cause I’m ashamed of what the doctor
       Em
would think
                    Am
Like when I felt alone and hated my
  C
life
                       G        Em
So I thought about takin’ it
             Am                     C
I saw this movie playin’ up in my head
             G
Next to my casket were some family and
   Em
friends
            Am
And even though I know that’s not how
     C
it ends
                G           Em
There was no shakin’ it


Pre-Chorus:
  F
If they forced a needle through a cortex in my brain
                      G
Wonder what they’d think, that maybe I had gone insane
                F
Or are there other people that are equally deranged
                       G
And think about the heinous things I think about


Chorus:
 F       G   Am
Is it only me?
         C           F
Is it unnatural to, to have these
   G         Am      C
thoughts sometimes?
  F       G      Am              C
Am I alone, am I some type of criminal?
      F                  G        Am
Oh, if they could read my mind
             C               F
Would they lock me up for life?
   G             Am
Lock me up for life?
                  C           F
Oh, would they lock me up for life?
    G             Am
Lock me up for life?

Mmmm


Bridge:
   F                     G
Tell my mother that I love her

I’m not coming home from jail
  Am
I’m so sorry
    C
I’m so sorry
 F                          G
And tell my father not to bother
                         Am
Waste a dollar on my bail

I’m so sorry, hmm
   C
I’m so sorry


Chorus:
 F      G      Am
Is it only me?
          C          F
Is it unnatural to, to have these
   G         Am
thoughts sometimes?
 F       G      Am               C
Am I alone, am I some type of criminal?
   F               G        Am
Oh, if they could read my mind
             C               F
Would they lock me up for life?
     G               Am
Lock me up for life?
                 C              F
Oh, would they lock me up for life?
      G                Am
Lock me up for life?
