Briefcase For A Body

Capo on 4th fret C Michael G Michael's got a briefcase for a body F And he's got a freezer for a soul C He's married G Married to his work and his work only F His wife spends almost all her time alone Am Em He wears the scales of justice on his shoulders Am Em Sits on the bench and in the robe Am Em Should be the last one to judge others Am G He knows the law but broke the code C Michael G Michael still knows where he hid the body F He still hears the last words that she spoke C He visits G Visits when he has a guilty conscience F G C But his wife spends almost all her time alone C G F C Beat-less G Beat-less is the heart inside of autumn F But brilliant minds like her they never rest C She’d haunt him G Haunt him with the words she last spoke: “Caught him” F Knew that she’d get even after death Am Em She wore the ring he gave her at the altar Am Em Promised till death and now they’ll part Am Em He thought his plan could never falter Am G But the written word’s a lost art C Oh Autumn G Suspecting the intentions of her husband F Forged a full confession with his name C He’s sentenced G Sentenced to a life in solitary F G C Micheal was a pawn his own game
