[Intro]
Am C Am C
 
Am              C
 Na Na Na Na Oh Oh
                Am
 Na Na Na Na Oh Oh
                C
 Na Na Na Na Oh Oh
 
 
[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
 
 
[Interlude]
Am              C
 Na Na Na Na Oh Oh
                Am
 Na Na Na Na Oh Oh
                C
 Na Na Na Na Oh Oh
 
 
[Verse 2]
 Am
 Three lights are lit
 
 But the fourth one's out
       C
 I can tell cause it's a bit darker
 
 Than the last night's bout
      Am
 I forgot about the drought
 
 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
 
 And I hide behind my mouth
       C
 I'm a pro at imperfections
 
 And I'm best friends with my doubt
Am
 And now that my mind's out
 
 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
 I don't know if this song
C
 Is a surrender or a revel
Am
 I don't know if this one
C
 Is about me or the devil
Am
 I don't know if this song
C
 Is a surrender or a revel
Am
 I don't know if this one
C                     Dm
 Is about me or the devil
 
 
[Instrumental]

 You're the judge, Oh no
        G        Am
 Set me free, oh no
   F              G
 I know my soul's freezing

 Hell's hot for good reason

 So please,

I like to play this song transposed to capo 5, sound better together with the song. Just a tip ;)
