Chords
[Verse 1]
Am It Emall began when they Amtook me from my home
EmAnd put me on Death Row
Am A crime for which I amEm totally innocent, you Amknow
Em Am I began to Emwarm and chill
Am To objectsEm and their fields
Am A ragged cup, a Emtwisted mop
Am The face of Jesus Emin my soup
Am Those sinister Emdinner deals
Am The meal trolley's Emwicked wheels
Am A hooked bone Emrising from my food
Am And all things either Emgood or ungood
[Chorus]
Am And the mercy seat is waiting
Ammaj7 And I think my head is burning
C And in a way I'm yearning
To be Gdone with all this weighing of the Gmtruth
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a Bb/Ftooth
And anyway I told the Ftruth
And I'm not afraid to die Am
[Break]
Em Am Em
[Verse 2]
Am I hear stories from the chamAmmaj7ber
Christ was born into a manCger
And like some ragged stranger
He Gdied upon the cross
Might I Gmsay, it seems so fitting in its Bb/Fway
He was a carpenter by trade F
Or at least that's what I'm Amtold
[Break]
Em Am Em
[Verse 3]
Am My killhand's
EmTatooed E.V.I.L.Am across it's Embrother's fist
Am That filthy five! Em
They did noAmthing to challenge or reEmsist
[Chorus]
Am In Heaven His throne is made of gold Ammaj7
The ark of his Testament is Cstowed
A throne from which I'm told
All Ghistory does unfold
It's Gmmade of wood and wire
And my Bb/Fbody is on fire
F And God is never far away Am
[Reprise 1]
Into the mercy seat I Ammaj7climb
My head is shaved, my head is wiCred
And like a moth that tries
To Genter the bright eye
I go Gmshuffling out of life
Just to hideBb/F in death awhile
F And anyway I never lied Am
[Reprise 2]
And the mercy seat is waiting
Ammaj7 And I think my head is burning
C And in a way I'm yearning
To be Gdone with all this weighing of the truth Gm
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a Bb/Ftooth
And anyway I told the Ftruth
And I'm not afraid to die Am
[Reprise 3]
And the mercy seat is burning
Ammaj7 And I think my head is glowing
C And in a way I'm hoping
To be Gdone with all this twisting of the truth Gm
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a Bb/Ftooth
And anyway there was no Fproof
And I'm not afraid to die Am
[Reprise 4]
And the mercy seat is glowing
Ammaj7 And I think my head is smoking
C And in a way I'm hoping
To be Gdone with all these looks of disbelief Gm
A life for a life
And a truth for a Bb/Ftruth
And I've got nothing left to loose F
And I'm not afraid to die Am
[Reprise 5]
And the mercy seat is smoking
Ammaj7 And I think my head is melting
C And in a way that's helping
To be Gdone with all this twisting of the truth Gm
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a Bb/Ftooth
And anyway I told the Ftruth
But I'm afraid I told a Amlie Ammaj7 C G Gm Bb/F F
[Reprise 7]

Gm Bb/F F
[Outro]
Am Ammaj7 C G
