And now Im alone and I, witnessed a crime.


           A
If someone ups and walks away is that a sin?
          D
I have no doubt she'll loo another man in.
                                 A
I'd walk a mile to tell and testifie I fell
                           E              A
I'm servin time in hell Oh I, witnessed a crime


        D

            A
When she allowed the looks of other mens' eyes

     A
It's left me walkin 'cross this empty floor,
            D
I just dont knoow if I can take it anymore.
                                        A
My thoughts wont let me be, my heart's abandoned me
                                 E             A
And the memories won't deny that I witnessed a crime
                                 E             A
And the memories won't deny that I witnessed a crime.
