[spoken]

I saw you standing on the corner, you looked so big and fine.
I really wanted to go out with you, so when you smiled,
I laid my heart on the line

Intro/Hook:
E, A, B x2

E               A       B        E
You read me my rights and then you said "Let's go" and nothing more
              A
I thought of my nights, and how they were
B

They were filled with --

A
I know you wouldn't go
        B
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
G#         A
I had to know so I asked
        E
You just had to laugh

[intro/hook x 2]

E                 A     B   E
We sat in the night with my hands cuffed at my ... side
               A
I look at your life and your style
 B       A
I wanted nothing more

I know you wouldn't go
        B                 G#
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
          A
I had to know so I asked
        E
You just had to laugh

[intro/hook]

C#m
Walking the line, you were a marksman
A
Told me that law, like wine, is ageless
F#   B
Public defender
C#m
You had to admit
  A          F# B
You wanted the love of a sex offender

[guitar solo: E, G#m, A, B]

A
I know you wouldn't go
        B                 G#
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
          A
I had to know so I asked
        E
You just had to laugh

E          A     B       E
My vision in blue, I call you from inside my cell
              A
And in the trial, you were there
     B        E
With your badge and rubber boots
                 A   B          E
I think all the time how I'm going to perpetrate love with you
                A       B        E
And when I get out, there's no doubt I'll be sex offensive to you
