[Intro]
Dm A7

[Verse 1]
                                            Dm
How many times did you call me
                                Am
And I knew it was late
                     Dm
I left everybody
                               Am
But I never went straight
                                      F
I don't claim to be guilty
                         Dm
But I do understand

[Refrain]
                   Bb                   A                       Dm
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
                   Bb                    A                      Dm
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand

A7

[Verse 2]
                                   Dm
Now my heart's like a blister
                              Am
From doing what I do
                                   Dm
If the moon has a sister
                      Am
It's got to be you
                                           F
I'm going to miss you forever
                                       Dm
Though it's not what I planned

[Refrain]
                  Bb                       A                       Dm
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
                   Bb                      A                       Dm
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand

A7

[Verse 3]
                                      Dm
Now the deal has been dirty
                      Am
Since dirty began
                           Dm
I'm not asking for mercy
                     Am
Not from the man
                                   F
You just don't ask for mercy
                                          Dm
While you're still on the stand

[Refrain]
                Bb                      A                     Dm
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
                Bb                      A                       Dm
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand

[Interlude]
Dm Am Dm Am

[Bridge]
                                F
I don't claim to be guilty
                       Dm
Guilty's too grand

[Refrain]
                Bb                            A                Dm
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand
                 Bb                           A                     Dm
There's a law, there's an arm, there's a hand

A7
