Prisoner’s Lament By Larry Mofle © 2003 7/3/03 C This ain’t no way to be livin’, baby F C Stuck here in this little 8 by 10 C And every time I close my eyes F C I can’t help but seeing you with him C I guess the lust I saw in your eyes C7 F Fm Drove me to a place I’d never been C With 40 years and no chance for parole G C I knew I’d end up paying for your sins D Finding that little rundown motel G D Where you met wasn’t very hard at all D G It wasn’t near as hard as seeing you and him D Pressed against the wall D Then every sane thought I had ever thought D7 G Gm Went rushing from my jealous mind D I guess I found a way to keep you, honey A D But I end up paying with my life E The sad part is this didn’t have to happen A E But you couldn’t help being so crass E You should have never, ever cheated A E On a man who was there to kiss your ass E And I guess no one on the jury E7 A Am Ever had someone who tore their world apart E Don’t know why they call this justice B7 E Cause it sure as hell don’t heal my broken heart Tag: E This ain't no way to be livin' baby A E Stuck here in this little 8X10
