capo: 4rd fret

[verse (1)]

C Am
the gavel fell when the door slammed
F
She didn’t say a word but i heard
C
Go to hell
Am
So here i am chained to this bar tab
F
And doing my time in this dive
C
It’s my neon holding cell

[chorus]

C
Till i find someway
Am
To escape the past
F
I’ll be watching the world

From behind the bars
C
And through the glass
F
She handed me down the sentence
Am
The day she left
F G
Ninety-nine years to life
C
And stoned to death

[verse (2)]

Am
I broke her heart, i plead guilty
F
I wear my regret
C
Like a number on my soul

I’d give anything
Am
If she’d forgive me
F
But there’s no time off for good behavior
C
Or chance of parole

[chorus]

C
Till i find someway
Am
To escape the past
F
I’ll be watching the world

From behind the bars
C
And through the glass
F
She handed me down the sentence
Am
The day she left
F G
Ninety-nine years to life
C
And stoned to death

[chorus]

C
Bartender keep em coming
Am
Till there’s nothing left
F
Ninety-nine
G C
Years to life and stoned to death
