(The chords are always the same for each verse and chorus)

Verse 1

            G                  D
It wasn't you, the angel on my mind

                                    G
In the end I wasn't sad to leave behind

                                                 C
I did a lot of bad things, got busted, now I'm fine

                               D              G
Now I've got to suck it up and do the time in mind

    G                              D
I was out carousing for oh so many nights

                                               G
Dipping here and dipping there I give myself a fright

                                        C
Most ever body near me, they got sold a line

                               D              G
Now I've got to suck it up and do the time in mind

---

Chorus

        D
Time in mind

             C             G
Should be an easy thing to do

        D
Time in mind

              C                    G
Your not in a cell, there ain't no screws

           D
But you'll find

                C            G
Your conscience giving it to you

        G                    D              G
It goes do do-do do-do do do do the time in mind

                     D              G
Do do-do do-do do do do the time in mind

Verse 2

My uncles they told me, the right thing to do
I knew they told the truth but still I carried right on through
Till I broke their hearts, hers and hers and mine
Now I've got to suck it up and do the time in mind

(Chorus)

Verse 3

One of these broken-hearted women, said to me one day
I wish there was a court for love they'd surely make you pay
I said I'm so sorry darling, there's no court of that kind
but you should know I've been a prisoner doing the time in mind
