[Verse 1]
Am                              F   
When the leader of the bad guys sang
C                            Dm  
Something soft and soaked in pain
Am                               F   C   
I heard the echo from his secret hideaway
Am                             F   
He must've forgot to close his door
C                              Dm    
As he cranked out those dismal chords
Am                          F     C   
And his four walls declared him insane

[Pre-Chorus]
  Em          
I found my way
      B               
Right time wrong place
     Dm      G   
As I pled my case

[Chorus]
           F         C 
You're the judge, Oh no
       G Am
Set me free
           F         C 
You're the judge, Oh no
       G Am
Set me free
  F              G       
I know my soul's freezing
       C            Am    
Hell's hot for good reason
   F            Am
So please, take me

[Post-Chorus]
Am          F   C
Na Na Na Na Oh Oh
            Dm  Am
Na Na Na Na Oh Oh
            F   C
Na Na Na Na Oh Oh

[Verse 2]
Am                  
Three lights are lit
                     F  
But the fourth one's out
      C                           
I can tell cause it's a bit darker
                      Dm  
Than the last night's bout
     Am                   
I forgot about the drought
                       F    
Of light bulbs in this house
          C  
So I head out
Down a route I think is heading south
            Am                  
But I'm not good with directions
                     F    
And I hide behind my mouth
      C                   
I'm a pro at imperfections
                             Dm   
And I'm best friends with my doubt
Am                        
And now that my mind's out
                            F   
And now I hear it clear and loud
               C  
I'm thinking, "Wow
I probably should've stayed inside my house."

[Pre-Chorus]
  Em          
I found my way
      B               
Right time wrong place
     Dm       G  
As I pled my case

[Chorus]
           F         C 
You're the judge, Oh no
       G Am
Set me free
           F         C 
You're the judge, Oh no
       G Am
Set me free
  F              G       
I know my soul's freezing
       C            Am    
Hell's hot for good reason
   F      
So please,

[Bridge]
Am                   F   
I don't know if this song
C                   Dm   
Is a surrender or a revel
Am                   F  
I don't know if this one
C                  Dm   
Is about me or the devil
Am                   F   
I don't know if this song
C                   Dm   
Is a surrender or a revel
Am                   F  
I don't know if this one
C                    Dm 
Is about me or the devil

You're the judge, Oh no
       G        Am
Set me free, oh no
  F              G       
I know my soul's freezing
       C            Am    
Hell's hot for good reason
   F      
So please,
