[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, BB x2

E MajorE               A augmentedA       BB        E MajorE
You read me my rights and then you said "Let's go" and nothing more
              A augmentedA
I thought of my nights, and how they were
BB
They were filled with --

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

[intro/hook x 2]

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

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

[intro/hook]

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

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

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

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