[Intro]
Dm Bb F C  x2


[Verse 1]
Dm
  Guess it'll pass
           Bb
here in my bed
I set a ticking
F
time bomb in my head
                C
I set it off to punish
my transgressions
       Dm
As the poison makes
its way I'm watching as
   Bb
my hands begin to shake
                     F
And now it's just regrets
and every second guess
                   C
Never thought we'd end
up here that night
when you said


[Chorus 1]
Bb               F
  The car is out back
               C
let's see this through
Bb             F
  They told me they had
         C    Bb
all this proof  I know
     F         Dm
what I done is wrong
              C
I sealed your fate
             Bb
and told the truth
        F
Now the gallows
         C  Dm
hang for you


[Verse 2]
Dm
  They'll find me here
               Bb
in a couple of days
                   F
I wonder what your wife
and kids would say
   C
he damn sure had it
coming They'll say
  Dm
I did it cause of shame
                 Bb
cause I went and damned
you to be safe They'll say
             F
it's just as well I hope
he burns in hell And guilt
            C
dealt him a hand that forced
his fate just the same


[Chorus 2]
Bb              F
  I sealed your fate
             C
and told the truth
Bb             F
  They told me they
             C
had all this proof
Bb
  They said they'd
F                 Dm
found the rusted spade
                C
And matched the footprints
        Bb
to your shoes Now the
F                C
gallows hang for you


[Instrumental]
Gm Bb F C


[Bridge]
Gm
  This turned out to
      Bb
be my fatal mistake
         F
And I'll take it to
   C    Gm
my grave  Say a prayer
   Bb
my soul is at the
                  F
stake And there's not
             C
much left to save
nothing left to save


[Chorus 3]
Bb              F
  I sealed your fate
             C
and told the truth
Bb             F
  They told me they
             C
had all this proof
Bb
  They said they'd
F                 Dm
found the rusted spade
                C
And matched the footprints
        Bb
to your shoes Now the
F                C
gallows hang for you
