BPM: 107
[Intro]
Bb Dm/F Gm Dm/F
[Verse 1]
Bb Dm/FI think about you when I’m trying to sleep,
Gm Dm/FWho did what to you to then Do that to me?
Bb Dm/FI find a glimpse of you on every street,
Gm Dm/FIn every white sedan, in every man I see.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Eb FI watch you floating in my free drink,
Gm Gm7You’re the loose thread of a “no strings” situation,
FA midnight altercation,
Eb FI hear you echo in a “why not”,
GmIn a frat house with the lights off,
Gm7In a basement,
Eb FA game I wasn’t playing,
Eb Fsus4But still lost.
[Chorus]
Bb Dm/F The crime of being alive,
GmThe crime of catching your eye,
GmNot being meek and polite,
GmAnd smiling back at you,
Bb Dm/F The crime of walking alone,
GmHalf a block from home,
GmMy scarlet letter, your stones,
GmThe pointless blood they drew,
Eb Fsus4 A split second of judgment,
Gm Dm/F And I’m still being punished,
Eb Fsus4 F Gm The crime of being a woman.
[Verse 2]
Bb Dm/FThe color’s gone but I still have the bruise,
Gm Dm/FStill peeling parts of me from the sole of your shoe,
Bb Dm/FI can’t make sense of it, were you born with wickedness,
Gm BbOr was it taught to you?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Eb FMy sin was that you couldn’t own me,
D/F# GmThrew a tantrum like you’re owed me,
GmLike I’m worthless,
FLike I’m fashioned out of your rib,
Eb FDid I pay for evils of another?
GmFor the harsh words of your mother?
FIn your verdict, what’d I Do to deserve this?
Eb Gm FI’m still lost.
[Chorus]
Bb Dm/F The crime of being alive,
GmThe crime of catching your eye,
GmNot being meek and polite,
GmAnd smiling back at you,
Bb Dm/F The crime of walking alone,
GmHalf a block from home,
GmMy scarlet letter, your stones,
GmThe pointless blood they drew,
Eb Fsus4 A split second of judgment,
Gm Dm/F And I’m still being punished,
Eb Fsus4 F Gm The crime of being a woman.
[Outro]
Eb D/F#It sits like a rock in my stomach,
Gm Fsus4The crime that’s never unpunished,
Gm Fsus4 F GmThe crime of being a woman.
