An Innocent Man
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
C
Some people stay far away from the
door
Dm
If there's a chance of it opening up
F G
They hear a voice in the hall
outside
C
And hope that it just passes by
C
Some people live with the fear of a
touch
Dm
And the anger of having been a fool
F G
They will not listen to anyone
C
So nobody tells them a lie
[Refrain]
Gm7 C/G
I know you're only
protecting yourself
Bb/F F
I know you're thinking of
somebody else
G N.C.
Someone who hurt you
[Verse 2]
C
But I'm not above making up for the
love
Dm
You've been denying you could ever
feel
F G
I'm not above doing anything
C
To restore your faith if I can
C
Some people see through the eyes of
the old
Dm
Before they ever get a look at the
young

I'm only willing to hear you cry

Because I am an innocent man

C
Some people say they will never
believe
Dm
Another promise they hear in the
dark
F G
Because they only remember too well
C
They heard somebody tell them before
C
Some people sleep all alone every
night
Dm
Instead of taking a lover to bed
F G
Some people find that it's easier to
hate
C
Than to wait anymore
[Refrain]
Gm7 C/G
I know you don't want to hear
what I say
Bb/F F
I know you're gonna keep
turning away
G N.C.
But I've been there and if
[Verse 4]
C
I can survive I can keep you alive
Dm
I'm not above going through it again
F G
I'm not above being cool for a while
If you're cruel to me I'll
C
understand
C
Some people run from a possible
fight
Dm
Some people figure they can never
win
F G
And although this is a fight I can
lose

The accused is an innocent man

out of spite
Bb/F F
I guess you'd rather be a
martyr tonight
G N.C.
That's your decision
[Verse 5]
N.C. C
But I'm not below anybody I know
Dm
If there's a chance of resurrecting
a love
F G
I'm not above going back to the
start
To find out where the heartache
C
began
C
Some people hope for a miracle cure
Dm
Some people just accept the world as
it is
F G
But I'm not willing to lay down and
die
C
Because I am an innocent man
