C F C
Oh does a guilty conscience make you rule the day
G7
You let another take you from my side
C F C
Why'd you wed your new love are you lying to me
G7 C
Or does a guilty conscience hurt your pride
G7 C
Does he take you to the same old places
G7
Does he kiss you like I used to do
C F
When you see the old familiar faces
C G7 C
Does a guilty conscience bother you
F C
Have you kept my letters and my photograph
G7
Have they faded like the love we knew
C F C
When you read them over does your heart regret
G7 C
And does a guilty conscience make you blue
G7 C
When the day is done and night is falling
G7
And you see that big moon in the sky
C F
When you lay your head upon your pillow
G7 C
Does a guilty conscience make you cry
