Intro: D-A-Bm-G x2
Verse 1:
(G)I was minding (A)my own business
When you (G)came in dressed to (A)kill
I (G)knew right then that (A)I was in trouble
But (G)not of my own free (A)will
Pre-Chorus 1:
Now I (G)have to say in (A)my defense
I (G)ain’t done nothing (A)wrong
Your (G)circumstantial (A)evidence
Is (G)all you got me (A)on
Chorus:
(D)I was just an (A)innocent by(Bm)stander
(G)Caught up in love
(D)And since (A)when was that a (Bm)crime(G)
(D)Saying that I’m (A)wanting you is (Bm)slander
When you’re (G)all I’m thinking (D)of
I’ll (A)gladly do my (Bm)time(G)
Verse 2:
There’s no jury in their right mind
Who would convict someone like me
Cause the way you walk and the way you talk
I could plead insanity
Pre-Chorus 2:
But I’m prepared to tell the whole truth now
I don’t need no alibi
You just put me on that witness stand
And I will testify
Chorus
Solo: G-A x4
Chorus
(D)I was just an (A)innocent by(Bm)stander, yeah
