[C]

Some people stay far away from the door

If there's [Dm]chance of it opening up

[F]They hear a voice in the [G]hall outside

And hope that it just passes by[C]

 

Some people live with the fear of a touch

And the [Dm]anger of having been a fool

[F]They will not listen to [G]anyone

So nobody tells them a [C]lie

 

[Gm7]I know you're only protecting [C/G]yourself

[A#/F]I know you're thinking of [F]somebody else

[G]Someone who hurt you

But [C]I'm not above

Making up for the love

You've been [Dm]denying you could ever feel

[F]I'm not above doing [G]anything

To restore your faith if I [C]can

 

Some people see through the eyes of the old

Before they [Dm]ever get look at the young

[F]I'm only willing to[G] hear you cry

Because I am an innocent [C]man

[Csus4]　[C]　[Csus4]　[Csus2]　

[C]　[Csus4]　[C]　[Csus4]　[C]

I [Fsus4]am[F]　[Fsus2]an innocent [Fsus4]man[F]

 

[G]Oh yes I [G/B]am[C]

 

Some people say they will never believe

Another [Dm]promise they hear in the dark

[F]Because they only [G]remember too well

They heard somebody tell them [C]before

 

Some people sleep all alone every night

Instead of [Dm]taking a lover to bed

[F]Some people find that's it's [G]easier to hate

Than to wait [C]anymore

 

[Gm7]I know you don't want to hear [C/G]what I say

[A#/F]II know you're gonna keep [F]turning away

[G]But I've been there and if [C]I can survive

I can keep you alive

I'm not above [Dm]going through it again

[F]I'm not above being[G]cool for a while

If you're cruel to me I'll [C]understand

 

Some people run from a possible fight

Some people [Dm]figure they can never win

[F]And althought this is a [G]fight I can lose

The accused is an innocent[C]man

[Csus4]　[C]　[Csus4]　[Csus2]　

[C]　[Csus4]　[C]　[Csus4]　[C]

I [Fsus4]am[F]　[Fsus2]an innocent [Fsus4]man[F]

 

[G]Oh yes I [G/B]am[C]

[Csus4]　[C]　[Csus4]An innocent man[C]

[Csus4]　[C]　[Dm7]　[C/E]

 

[Gm7]You know you only hurt [C/G]yourself out of spite

[A#/F]I guess you'd rather be a [F]martyr tonight

[G]That's your decision

But [C]I'm not below

Anybody I know

If there's a [Dm]chance of resurrecting a love

[F]I'm not above going back [G]to the start

To find out where the heartache [C]began

 

Some people hope for a miracle cure

Some people [Dm]just accept the world as it is

[F]But I'm not willing to [G]lay down and die

Because I am an innocent [C]man

[Csus4]　[C]　[Csus4]　[Csus2]　

[C]　[Csus4]　[C]　[Csus4]　[C]

I [Fsus4]am[F]　[Fsus2]an innocent [Fsus4]man[F]

 

[G]Oh yes I [G/B]am[C]

[Csus4]　[C]　[Csus4]

An innocent man[C]

[Csus4]　[C]　[Csus4], [C]oh-h-h-h

[G]　[C]
