CSome people stay far away from the door
If there's a cDmhance of it opening up
FThey hear a voice in the hGall outside
And hope that it just passes Cby
CSome people live with the fear of a touch
And the aDmnger of having been a fool
FThey will not listen to aGnyone
So nobody tells them a lCie
BbI know you're only proC/Ftecting yourself
BbI know you're thinking of sFomebody else
GSomeone who hurt you
But CI'm not above making up for the love
You've been deDmnying you could ever feel
FI'm not above doing aGnything
To restore your faith if I cCan
CSome people see through the eyes of the old
Before they eDmver get a look at the young
FI'm only willing to Ghear you cry
Because I am an innocent Cman
I aFm an innocent man
Oh yes I Cam
CSome people say they will never believe
Another proDmmise they hear in the dark
FBecause they only rGemember too well
They heard somebody tell them befCore
CSome people sleep all alone every night
Instead of tDmaking a lover to bed
FSome people find that it's eGasier to hate
Than to wait anymorCe
BbI know you don't want to Chear what I say
BbI know you're gonna keep tCurning away
GBut I've been there and if
CI can survive I can keep you alive
I'm not abDmove going through it again
FI'm not above being cGool for a while
If you're cruel to me I'll understanCd
CSome people run from a possible fight
Some people fDmigure they can never win
FAnd although this is a fGight I can lose
The accused is an innocent maCn
I aFm an innocent man
Oh yes I aCm
An innocent man
BbYou know you only hurt yoursCelf out of spite
BbI guess you'd rather be a marFtyr tonight
GThat's your decision
CBut I'm not below anybody I know
If there's a cDmhance of resurrecting a love
FI'm not above going bacGk to the start
To find out where the heartache begCan
CSome people hope for a miracle cure
Some people juDmst accept the world as it is
FBut I'm not willing to lGay down and die
Because I am an innocent maCn
I aFm an innocent man
Oh yes I aCm
An innocent man
