          I spent my last two birthdays in the Travis County Jail 
          E5             A5                 E5                     B5 
          Tomorrow I go up for life but I should go straight to hell 
          B5                                 A5                 E5 
          Hell's got no more room for me and it's got no more time 
          A5               B5            E5 
          I should be confessin' all my crimes

          Four years ago my debt was piled high upon my mind 
          E5               A5             E5                B5 
          And I devised a plan to rob a bank just to survive 
          B5 
          Oh, but when the gunsmoke cleared                                   
              A5               E5 
          I saw two bodies on the ground 
          A5              B5           E5 
          Thirteen hours later I was found 
 

chorus:              B5                       A5             E5 
           Don't you feel any sorrow for the man that I've been 
                        B5 
          'Cause in the waking of tomorrow                                    
               A5               E5 
           They will find me full of sin 
                 A5        E5               B5           E5 
           I got news for you, I ain't as bad as they say 
                 A5        E5 
           I got news for you it looks like, 
           B5               A5         E5 
           That just don't matter today
