A Confession Cifras

[Verse 1]
           Am
You cause nothing but trouble wherever you burn.
 
You’re the sunlight in my open eyes,
       F
but I won't go blind today.
 
            Am
Cause when liars lead minds with their
G                         D
wiles and clever distractions,
        F
I see through them
 
[Verse 2]
       Am
And I’ve got experience dealing with repeat offenders,
                                              F
they swing from my branches, like unripened fruit,
 
found wanting when weighed.
 
         Am
And with all of the evidence
G                      D
finally laid out in front of me,
         F
I can almost taste
 Am              F
a confession, a confession.
 
[Verse 3]
         Am
So if the court would stay quiet for only a second,
                                           F
I’m pleased to make my case, and tell my story
 
        Am                    G
but wait just a moment I’m passing a motion
                      D
I also am the judge, and the jury
  F                  Am
You should worry, you should worry.
 
[Chorus 1]
Am                                   C
Where are you leading us? all is malodorous evil
Bb                                             F
The reddest of herrings is wearing a worrying scent
Am                               C
You ask if I’m serious why am I acting so gleeful?
Bb                                             F
What do I want? Should you rather abscond or repent?
              Am                 F
Abscond or repent? Settle the score?
 
    Am
No lawyer needs a spider in their
  G                            D       F
corner shredding documents for sport.
 
[Verse 4]
Am
Now, deciding your fate is no simple matter
                                       F
because part of me knows that I would miss you
Am                                             G
but you’re so complicated, I couldn’t pin you down,
               D           F
and now you’re becoming an issue.
 
[Verse 5]
Am
Little thief on the run, I’m a witch hunt of one,
                                                     F
and the very first question I’ll ask in your interrogation
Am
was all of it, everything, just one big game?
       G                      D                      F
And if so was it luck of the throw, your misrepresentation?
                       Am             F
And subsequent incrimination, incrimination.
 
[Chorus 2]
Am                                      C
While I was dreaming I learned a brand new way of seeing
Bb                                             F
from a fetus, a mother, but also a beast and a ghost
Am                                        C
you ask if I’m kidding, you’re having a hard time believing
Bb                                                   F
“Am I villain or victim? Why can’t I be neither, or both?”
             Am              F
Neither or both? It’s either/or.
 
    Am                               G
It’s not multiple choice you stupid girl.
                                 D        F
Why don’t you break that magic eight ball,
                    Am
and give a coin a whirl?
                F
Give a coin a whirl.
               Am
Give into the law.
G                    D  F
Confess, you silly girl.
