Verse 1:
G+G Csus2Csus2
She was doing 60 in a 35
Gadd9Gadd9
I hit the lights and pulled her over
Csus2Csus2
When I reached the window of the driver side
G+G
There was blood from her mouth, dry on her shoulder
Gadd9Gadd9 Csus2Csus2
I've never had much patience for guys that hit
G+G
For more than just obvious reasons
Gadd9Gadd9 Csus2Csus2
I asked if she wanted me to take him in
G+G
She laughed it off like lemonade
Chorus:
E minor 7Em7 Gadd9Gadd9 D/F#D/F#
When you're in love, you can be blinded by your own heart
E minor 7Em7 Am7Am7
You'll bend your own truth, so twisted up you could justify sin
Csus2Csus2 Dsus2Dsus2 E minor 7Em7
And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
Csus2Csus2 Dsus2Dsus2 Gadd9Gadd9 Csus2Csus2
People do despe---rate things
Verse 2:
G+G Csus2Csus2
I've been taking lunch breaks at her work
G+G
When the restaurant ain't too crowded
Csus2Csus2
She knows me and my wife got a little girl
Gadd9Gadd9
We don't talk too much about it
Csus2Csus2
The other night she met me way out west
Gadd9Gadd9
Things went further than they should have
Csus2Csus2
But when she undid the buttons of her dress
G+G
I didn't stop her, but I could have

Verse 3:
G+G Csus2Csus2
I know where he drinks most every night
G+G
It's our local hero sports bar
Csus2Csus2
I've got him cuffed and sweating cold
G+G
In the back of my patrol car
Csus2Csus2
You forget how dark the canyon gets
G+G
It's a real uneasy feeling
Csus2Csus2
I've never had much patience for guys who hit
G+G
For more than just obvious reasons
