A Singer Must Die

        Bb                     Asus2
Now the courtroom is quiet, but who will confess?
       Bb                      Asus2
Is it true you betrayed us? The answer is "yes"
     Cmaj7                    F
Then read me the list of the crimes that are mine
             Dsus2                        G
I will ask for the mercy that you love to decline
             C                       E/B
And all the ladies go moist, and the judge has no choice
   Am                      G
A singer must die for the lie in his voice


       Bb                       Asus2
And I thank you, I thank you for doing your duty
     Bb                   Asus2
You keepers of truth, you guardians of beauty
    Cmaj7                 F
Your vision is right, my vision is wrong
    Dsus2                  G
I'm sorry for smudging the air with my song


C / E/B / Am / G

        Bb                    Asus2
Oh, the night it is thick, my defences are hid
        Bb                       Asus2
In the clothes of a woman I would like to forgive
      Cmaj7                       F
In the rings of her silk, in the hinge of her thighs
       Dsus2                   G
Where I have to go begging in beauty's disguise
       C                    E/B
Oh goodnight, goodnight, my night after night
   Am                         G
My night after night, after night, after night, after night


     Bb              Asus2
I am so afraid that I listen to you
     Bb                         Asus2
Your sun glassed protectors they do that to you
          Cmaj7                   F
It's their ways to detain, their ways to disgrace
      Dsus2                         G
Their knee in your balls and their fist in your face
         C                       E/B
Yes and long live the state by whoever it's made
       Am                         G
Sir, I didn't see nothing, I was just getting home late
