AmThere's one thing you should Cknow about
GChrist is watching me right nowAm  
AmSomeone saw something and they Cshot it down
GI spent seven months in another townAm  
AmAt night I'd walk down on the Cbeach
GOne night I saw them watching meAm  
Fmaj7They rolled Cup. Fmaj7They put the Ccuffs on
Then they Fmaj7drove me deep Cinto the Gvalley
Fmaj7The just jCudge Fmaj7looked me over and said I'm Csorry
Fmaj7You don't Chave to keep Grunning
But you best be Fmaj7leaving
[Verse]
AmYou can't take away all the Cparts of you

Fmaj7They roll Cup. Fmaj7They pledge their Clove
And then they dFmaj7rive you halfCway to a Gbreakdown
Fmaj7The just Cjudge Fmaj7looked me oveCr and said I'm sFmaj7orry
Love's Cbeen such a letGdown
Let's proFmaj7ceed with the shakedown

Jesus is a judge and He's kind and He's just
GForgives us for our avarice and Amlust
AmI don't even know what's Ceast of here
GI came up the Western pierAm
