This is life in this world
Some things go right
Some things go wrong
It's just how the world can be
People just want to be free
Yeah...


    Em                    (Em)
The verdict came in and it said I was guilty
  Em                        (Em)
I looked at the judge, "Hey America built me."
Em                        (Em)
Tried to get rich but they label me filthy
C                      B
Only God can judge me, touch me, feel me...


Em               Em/G      Am
 My friend calls me at 9 o'clock
               C        B       Em
Says, "Get the car it's time to rock"
      Em/G                 Am C B
Never heard him speak this way
Em          Em/G             Am
 I grab the keys and hit the road
           C         B         Em
It's all a flash but who would know
        Em/G          Am
How the story would unfold
      B
Don't charge me for the crime


Em                (Em)
 Wrong place wrong time
Em    (Em)
 Don't charge me for the crime
Em                (Em) 
 Wrong place wrong time
C      B
 Don't charge me for the crime


Em              Em/G            Am
 My friend gets in the car with bags
              C        B        Em
Filled to the top with loads of cash
               Em/G          Am  C B
And throws his pistol on the dash
Em          Em/G          Am
 Says, "I'm sorry for the crime
            C          B       Em
That I've involved you in this time
           Em/G             Am
You're the only friend I've got."
      B
Don't charge me for the crime


Em                (Em)
 Wrong place wrong time
Em    (Em)
 Don't charge me for the crime
Em                (Em) 
 Wrong place wrong time
C      B
 Don't charge me for the crime


Em          Em/G                Am
 I start to freak and scream so loud
              C       B      Em
Just like the females in the crowd
            Em/G          Am  C B
That's when he gets in my head
Em         Em/G             Am
 You could live just like a king
          C           B    Em
With everything you'd ever need
        Em/G            Am
All the dreams of every man
      B
Don't charge me for the crime

 Wrong place wrong time
C      B
 Don't charge me


Em                (Em)
Siren sound and my heart was poundin'
  Em                     (Em)
I looked at my man as the cops surround him
  Em                    (Em)
A teen on the scene with no objective
     C                    B
The American dream can be so deceptive


Em     Em/G             Am
 Now I see the flashing lights
              C      B      Em
There goes my future and my life
         Em/G             Am   C B
Now I've got to do what's right
Em          Em/G              Am
 I stop the car and throw the keys
           C      B       Em
Out of the window sets me free
            Em/G          Am  C B
I throw the pistol in the back


Em                    Em/G
 Throws me out of his car
            A
You know me well
                 C
I'm not going to jail
    B               Em
I'm not paying your bail
  Em/G            A
Believe me when I say
           C      B          Em
They won't charge me for the crime


                 (Em)
Wrong place wrong time

 Don't charge me for the crime
Em     Em/F#       Em/G 
 Wrong place wrong time

 Don't charge me
