Verse 1:
   C                          G
We danced that night so close together
   F         G          C     G
We said that we'd never part
  C                           G
I thought it for worse or for better
      F              G              C
But I didn't see the chains on your heart
         C                            G
For your father kept the peace in the county
    F                 G          C     G
And although they say justice is blind
   C                      G
He led me in cuffs to his jailhouse
    F         G        C
For trying to make you mine

Chorus:
     F         Fm       C
They said your love was taken
        F      Fm       C     G
As they led me down the hall
    C                     G
Now you're in the arms of another
    F          G           C
And I'm in the arms of the law

Now one day I'll break from this prison
   F              G             C     G
To see if there's truth to this tale
       C                            G
And if you're locked in the arms of another
        F          G              C
I'll be better off locked in this jail

Chorus:
     F         Fm       C
They said your love was taken
        F      Fm       C     G
As they led me down the hall

And I'm in the arms of the law
     F          Fm          C
Yes, I'm in the arms of the law
