[Dm] so now I'm up in the courts pleading my case in a witness box telling the judge and jury the same thing that i said to the cops
[A] on the day that i got arrested im innocent I protested she just feels rejected had her heart broken by someone she's obsessed with
[Dm] she likes sound on my music she makes out a fan of my music thats why "love goes down" makes her lose it cos she cant seperate the man from the music
[A] and im saying all this from the stand while my girl cries tears from the galleries this got bigger than i ever could have planned like that song by the Zutons "Valerie"
[F] so the jury dont look like their buying it and shes making me nervous
[A] arms crossed, screwed faced like im trying it their eyes fixed on me like im murderous
[F] they wanna lock me up and throw away the key
[A] they wanna send me down even though i told them she..
