-VERSE1-
  GmYou see my hands are steady
  GmYou've seen my face before
  FSoon you can take your last look
And they'll D#close the door
  GmI stand accused before you
  GmI have no tears to cry
  FAnd you will never break me
'Til the D#day I die!
-----
-CHORUS-
  GmA criminal mind Dmis all I
  GmAll I've ever knDmown
  D#They tried to refoCmrm me
But I'm Fmade of cold stone
  GmMy criminal Dmmind is all I
  GmAll I've ever hDmad
  D#Ask one who's Cmknown me
If I'm Freally so bad
Gm
I Am!
-----
-VERSE2-
  GmI've spent my life behind these steel bars
  GmI've paid my debt in time
  FBut being brought to justice
That was my D#only crime
  GmI don't regret a single action
  GmI'd do the same again
  FThese prison walls secure me
And I'm D#numb to pain
-----
-CHORUS-
  GmA criminal mind Dmis all I
  GmAll I've ever knDmown

-VERSE3-
  GmBefore you hand me over
  GmBefore you read my sentence
  FI'd like to say a few words
Here in my D#own defense
  GmSome people struggle daily
  GmThey struggle with their conscience to the end
  FI have no guilt to haunt me
I feel the D#wrong intent
