[Verse 1]
Am
No blood upon my hands
Am
No smokin' gun
Dm                               Am
No witness that could testify to anything I've done
Dm                                       Am
I'd look that judge right in the eye if I ever took the stand
Em             G           Am
But I'm not an innocent man

[Verse 2]
Am
No jury could convict me
Am
Of breaking any law
Dm                                  Am
I'll never meet the jailer 'cause I never will get caught
Dm                                 Am
But the man here in the mirror, he clearly understands
Em         G          Am
I'm not an innocent man

[Chorus 1]
Dm
I'm a brother
Dm
I'm a husband and a son
Am
Oh, Father, I know not what I've done
Dm                                    Em  G
Forgive me and help me to forgive myself

Am  Dm  Am  Dm  Am  Em  G  Am

[Verse 3]
Am
Just 'cause I get away with it
Am
It doesn't make it right
Dm                                 Am
It doesn't make the deeds I've done any less a crime
Dm                         Am
Even if the world sees me on that righteous path
Em         G          Am
I'm not an innocent man

[Chorus 2]
Dm
I'm a brother
Dm
I'm a husband and a son
Am
Oh, Father, I know not what I've done
Dm                                    Em  G
Forgive me and help me to forgive myself

Am  Dm  Am  Dm  Am  Em  G  Am

[Verse 4]
Am
When I meet the Maker
Am
There's nothing I can hide
Dm                                        Am
He'll see all of the guilt and shame I've buried down inside
Dm                                  Am
And I'll ask Him to forgive me, and I'll see if He can
Em             G             Am
'Cause I'm not an innocent man

[Outro]
Em         G          Am
I'm not an innocent man
Em         G          Am
I'm not an innocent mannnnnnnn
