An Innocent Man piano leadsheet with chords

Some people stay far away from the door if there's a chance of it opening up,

they hear a voice in the hall ber too well and hope some that it just passes by.

Some people live with the fear of a touch,

and the an takger of having been a fool,

they will not listen to anyone so nobody tells them a lie.

I know you're only protecting yourself,

I know you're thinking of some turnbody else.

Someone who hurt you, but I'm not above making up for the love you've been denying you could ever feel,

love,

I'm not above doing an y a thing to restore your me faith if I can.

Some people see through the eyes of the old before they ever get a look at the young.

I'm only willing to hear you can cry because I am an innocent man.

I am an innocent man,

oh yes I am.

Some people say they will never believe another promise they hear in the dark,

because they only remember too well they heard somebody tell them before.

Some people sleep all alone ev'ry night instead of taking a loving er to bed,

some people find that it's easier to hate than to wait anymore.

I know you don't want to hear what I say,

I know you're gonna keep some turning away.

But I've been there, and if I can survive I can keep you alive,

I'm not above going through it again,

love,

I'm not above being cool for the while,

if you're cruel to the I'll understand.

Some people run from a possible fight,

some people figure they can nev as er win.

And although this is a fight I and lose,

the accused is an innocent man.

I am an innocent man,

oh yes I am.

An innocent man.

You know you only hurt yourself out of spite,

I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonight.

That's your decision, but I'm

An innocent man,

oh.
