[Verse 1]
G                                   D
I thought that this was suppose to feel good
Em                             C
And if you were really mine I guess it would
          G
I didn't fall in love 'cause it was
     D                                 
The right thing to do (I didn't fall in love)
Eb                     D
I just went ahead and fell for you   whoa oh

[Chorus]
 G
Somewhere down along the line
   D
I guess that love became a crime
      Em
This contradiction makes no sense
 C       G
This is punishment
   G
I feel like this is judgement day
       D
I'll raise my hand stand up and say
   Em                    C
I don't believe I'm innocent
       G          D             Em    C
This is punishment   Whoa oh ah uh

[Verse 2]
 G                             D
Truth is your heart was never mine to take
            Em                           C
And now I'm stuck in a feeling that I'll never shake (never shake)
    G                               D
I prayed for it to go, God knows I want it to stay
Eb                        D
But here I am lovin' you either way hey-ay

[Chorus]
 G
Somewhere down along the line
   D
I guess that love became a crime
      Em
This contradiction makes no sense
 C       G
This is punishment
   G
I feel like this is judgement day
       D
I'll raise my hand stand up and say
   Em                    C
I don't believe I'm innocent
       G          D    Em    C
This is punishment

[Bridge]
  F           C             G             D
You'll never feel all the things I can't say (I can't say)
     F          C           E
And I'll never know if it's   better this way

[Chorus]
 A
Somewhere down along the line
   E
I guess that love became a crime
     F#m
This contradiction makes no sense
  D
This is punishment
   A
I feel like this is judgement day
      E                              F#m
I'll raise my hand stand up and say

I don't believe I'm innocent
 D
This is punishment

[Chorus]
     A
Oh somewhere down along the line
    E                            F#m
I guess that love became a crime
         D
This is punishment
   A
I feel like this is judgement day
       E
I'll raise my hand stand up and say
  F#m     D                  A          E    F#m    D
(This is punishment)  This is punishment
       A          E        F#m       D            A
This is punishment                       Whoa-ooa-oh
                           (This is punishment)
       E        F#m      D
This is, this is, this punishment
