This is my first tab for a website, so be patient with it;
I saw a whole bunch of tabs on the internet with half the
song cut out, so I just had to laugh as the song goes.
I'm 99% sure these are the chords used, take accurate
timing by listening to the song while practising.
And there's a difference between G# and G#m
(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]You read me my rights and then [A]you said "Let's[B] go" and nothing[E] more
I thought of my nights, and [A]how they were
[B]They were filled with --
[A]I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my [B]heart burst then you'd step in
[G#]I had to know so I a[A]sked
You just had to [E]laugh
(intro/hook x 2)
[E]We sat in the night with my hands [A]cuffed at [B]my ... [E]side
I look at your life and your [A]style
I [B]wanted nothing [A]more
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my [B]heart burst then you'd step in[G#]
I had to know so I [A]asked
You just had to [E]laugh
(intro/hook)
[C#m]Walking the line, you were a marksman
[A]Told me that law, like wine, is ageless
[F#]Public d[B]efender
[C#m]You had to admit
You [A]wanted the love of a [F#]sex [B]offender
(guitar solo: E, G#m, A, B)
[A]I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my [B]heart burst then you'd step in[G#]
I had to know so I [A]asked
You just had to [E]laugh
[E]My vision in blue, I [A]call you f[B]rom inside my c[E]ell
And in the trial, you were [A]there
With your [B]badge and rubber [E]boots
I think all the time how I'm goin[A]g to p[B]erpetrate love with [E]you
And when I get out, there's no [A]doubt I'll be [B]sex offensive to [E]you
