Criminals- Fiona Apple. 


Verse:

Am                F7
Ive been a bad bad girl,

Am                       F7
Ive been careless with a delicate man.

Am                F7
And its a sad sad world,

Am                     
When a girl can break a boy

F7
Just because she can.


Pre-Chorus


C        Bb              F7
Dont you tell me to deny it,

              C   
Ive done wrong and I want to

Bb            Am
Suffer for my sins.

C               Bb
Ive come to you cause I need

Ab7                  G7
Guidance to be true

           F7                  Ab7
And I just dont know where I can begin.


Chorus:


F7               Cm
What I need is a good defense

         F7                 Cm
cause Im feelin like a criminal.

      F7   
And I need to be redeemed

       Cm                  Bb
To the one I sinned against

               Ab7     G7        F7
Because he was all I ever knew of love.





Verse: (follows same pattern as first verse)



Heaven help me for the way I am.

Save me from these evil deeds.

Before I get them done.

I know tomorrow brings the consequence

At hand.

But I keep livin this day like

The next will never come.

Oh, help me, but dont tell me

To deny it.

Ive got to cleanse myself.

Of all these lies till Im good

Enough for him.

Ive got a lot to lose and im

Bettin high

So Im beggin you before it ends

Just tell me where to begin.


Chorus:


F7               Cm
What I need is a good defense

         F7                 Cm
cause Im feelin like a criminal.

      F7   
And I need to be redeemed

       Cm                  Bb
To the one I sinned against

               Ab7     G7        F7
Because he was all I ever knew of love.



Bridge:



Eb             Cb  
    Let me know the way

Ab                   Cb
    Before theres hell to pay.

Ab              Cb             Ab7
    Give me room to lay the law and let me go.

Ab                Cb
    Ive got to make a play

Ab             Cb
    To make my lover stay

 Eb                    Cb
    So, what would an angel say?

          Ab7
cause the devil wants to know.



Chorus:  (X2)


F7               Cm
What I need is a good defense

         F7                 Cm
cause Im feelin like a criminal.

      F7   
And I need to be redeemed

       Cm                  Bb
To the one I sinned against

               Ab7     G7        F7
Because he was all I ever knew of love.
