Intro: E A B 
 
 
Verse:
 
E 
She lied, she lied to the FBI. 
When she told them she was innocent, 
A victimless crime. 
      A 
And I don't give a shit,   
                          B  
I'd never drop dime on my baby 
Though she gave it to the FBI. 
 
E 
I lied, I lied to the FBI. 
When I told 'em that I did it to save her hide. 
A 
Told 'em that the plan for the heist was mine. 
B 
Now I'm stuck and I'm fucked, doing federal time. 
 
 
 
A             B              E            
Locked deep inside I'm doing time for you, 
A             B            E 
Just got the letter saying we are through, 
A          B           E         C#m       
And I don't give a damn if I get out again, 
A         B 
I'm doing time for you
