Verse 1
Bm
Em
A
There's nothing as cold as the freeze in your soul
Bm
A
Bm
at the moment when you are arres ted.
A
There's nothing as real as the iron and steel
Bm
A
Bm
on the handcuffs when you pro tested.
D
F#
You raced through the night in the prison of fright
Bm
A
as you head for the quicksand of questions.
Bm
A
And chil dren unborn will see you in scorn
Bm
A
Bm
If ever you make a confes sion.
A
And the click of the lock is a shiver of shock
Bm
As you wonder what are their object ives.
A
Up on your guard, for the voices are hard
Bm
A
Bm
That be long to the cops and de tectives.
D
And it's hard to believe,
F#m
as they roll up their sleeves
Bm
A
That you're in for more than a ses sion
Bm
And it couldn't be true,
A
and it's not really you
Bm
A
Bm
That they want to make a confes sion
A
You cannot conceal the confusion you feel
Bm
A
Bm
As they steadily work to outguess you
E
And some will pretend they are really your friend,
A
Bm
A
Bm
who rally around to your rescue.
D
With frightening force,
F#
Bm
A
your mind is divorced to give them the guilty impres sion.
Bm
Every word that you hear is a weapon of
A
Bm
A
Bm
fear to win the war of confes sion.
A
The lights shoot a glare like bullets they stare
Bm
A
Bm
and burn at the base of convic tion.
And you squint and you blink and you try not
A
Bm
D
A
Bm
to think of the cobweb s of contra dictions.
D
F#
And your clothes will be wet with rivers of
Bm
A
sweat that tells the tale of the ten sion.
Bm
And once in a while
Em
the clock has to smile
A
Bm
A
Bm
As it counts the time of confes sion
The questions will rain
E
and pour on your brain
A
Bm
With the proper speed
A
Bm
they are driv en
The circles they pace and the
A
sneers on their face
Bm
A
Bm
Tells you no quarter is given
D
You can salvage your mind
F#m
when the paper is
F#
F#m
Bm
And the crime is
A
solved by oppres sion,
Bm
But win, lose, or draw,
E
A
it's the rule of the law
Bm
A
Bm
To always work for confes sion.
And the balance of scale
A
seems distant an d pale
Bm
A
Bm
In the shadowy days of the tri al,
And sometimes they die with
A
their name on a lie
Bm
A
Bm
When it's all too late for deni al.
D
When agree ment is full,
F#
the switch must be pulled
Bm
An d the chair leaves no
A
hope for correc tion
Bm
But the chances are large
A
he was guilty as charged
Bm
A
Bm
After all, he made a confes sion
