LOCK ME UP FOR LIFE CHORDS Piano & Guitar – Alec Benjamin

Am7                              D            G
Well, I was walkin’ through some shops at the mall
G
A gold Versace watch was hangin’ up on the wall
          Am7                      D
And no, I didn’t have the money to ball
     C             G         Em
So I thought about takin’ it
           Am7                 D  G
I saw this movie playin’ up in my head
G
I walk outside and jack a Mercedes Benz
                    Am7                    C
Go drivin’ down the 5 and even though it’s pretend
            G
Maybe I’m a maniac

[Pre-Chorus]

Em            Fmaj7                       F
   If it were illegal to have evil in the mind
         G
And they cut me open

Wonder, would they be surprised?
                   F
Or are there other people that are equally inclined
                   G                            F
To think about the heinous things I think about

[Chorus]

G           Am
Is it only me?
   C                F  G                        Am     C F
Is it unnatural to,  to have these thoughts sometimes?
      G                    C       F
Am I alone, am I some type of criminal?
            G             Am
Oh, if they could read my mind
G                     F
Would they lock me up for life?
G                Am7
Lock me up for life?
C                         F
Oh, would they lock me up for life?
G                Am
Lock me up for life?
G
Mmmm

[Verse 2]

Am                                    D
There’s things I wouldn’t even say to my shrink
                               G            Em
'Cause I’m ashamed of what the doctor would think
                 Am7             D
Like when I felt alone and hated my life
                          G  Em
So I thought about takin’ it
                 Am            D
I saw this movie playin’ up in my head
           G                                Em
Next to my casket were some family and friends
                  Am          D
And even though I know that’s not how it ends
          G              Em
There was no shakin’ it

[Pre-Chorus]

F
If they forced a needle through a cortex in my brain
                   G
Wonder what they’d think, that maybe I had gone insane
                   F
Or are there other people that are equally deranged
                    G                             F
And think about the heinous things I think about

[Chorus]

G          A
Is it only me?
C                  F   G                       Am     C
Is it unnatural to, to have these thoughts sometimes?
F  G             F            C
Am I alone, am I some type of criminal?
F      G                  Am
Oh, if they could read my mind
           G              F
Would they lock me up for life?
           G    Am
Lock me up for life?
               C              F
Oh, would they lock me up for life?
        G        Am
Lock me up for life?
G
Mmmm

[Bridge]

Am       F             G        Em
 Tell my mother that I love her
                         Am
I’m not coming home from jail
         F
I’m so sorry
G   Em
I’m so sorry
Am          F             G
And tell my father not to bother
        Em           Am
Waste a dollar on my bill
       F      G
I’m so sorry, hmm
       Em
I’m so sorry

[Chorus]

F      G
 Is it only me?
   C                F  G                       Am     C
Is it unnatural to, to have these thoughts sometimes?
F    G           Am   C
Am I alone, am I some type of criminal?
    F  G                  Am
Oh, if they could read my mind
C                         F
Would they lock me up for life?
           G         Am
Lock me up for life?
               C              F
Oh, would they lock me up for life?
G                Am  C
Lock me up for life?
