Briefcase For A Body Cifras

Capo on 4th fret
 
[Verse 1]
C
Michael
                                G
Michael's got a briefcase for a body
                               F
And he's got a freezer for a soul
     C
He's married
                                 G
Married to his work and his work only
                                     F
His wife spends almost all her time alone
 
 
[Chorus]
             Am                      Em
He wears the scales of justice on his shoulders
     Am                     Em
Sits on the bench and in the robe
       Am                      Em
Should be the last one to judge others
     Am                         G
He knows the law but broke the code
 
 
[Verse 2]
C
Michael
                                     G
Michael still knows where he hid the body
                                        F
He still hears the last words that she spoke
    C
He visits
                             G
Visits when he has a guilty conscience
        F                  G             C
But his wife spends almost all her time alone

 C
Beat-less
                                 G
Beat-less is the heart inside of autumn
                                       F
But brilliant minds like her they never rest
      C
She’d haunt him
                                        G
Haunt him with the words she last spoke: “Caught him”
                              F
Knew that she’d get even after death
 
 
[Chorus]
    Am                       Em
She wore the ring he gave her at the altar
   Am                              Em
Promised till death and now they’ll part
   Am                          Em
He thought his plan could never falter
        Am                   G
But the written word’s a lost art
 
 
[Verse 4]
   C
Oh Autumn
                                G
Suspecting the intentions of her husband
                                  F
Forged a full confession with his name
     C
He’s sentenced
                           G
Sentenced to a life in solitary
 F            G             C
Micheal was a pawn his own game
