Johnny Cash - Why Do You Punish Me (For Loving You): chords

            G#            C#     G#
Why do you punish me for loving you?
                D#                      G#
You're counting my mistakes, how about yours?
                            C#        G#
Why do you sentence me? To nights of tears
           D#
Convicting all these dreams,
                            G#
I've dreamed for all these years

Chorus:
    C#                                  G#
My heart cries out behind these prison bars
             D#                 A#              D#
It pleads to you for your true love to set it free
            G#            C#      G#
Why do you punish me? Is love a crime?
             D#               D#7            G#
If so, I'll spend a lifetime loving serving time

My heart cries out behind these prison bars
It pleads to you for your true love to set it free
Why do you punish me? Is love a crime?
If so, I'll spend a lifetime loving serving time
