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

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

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

We sat in the night
With my hands cuffed at my side
I look at your life and your style
I wanted nothing more

Chorus

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

Chorus

My vision in blue
I call you from inside my cell
And in the trial, you were there
With your badge and rubber boots

I think all the time how I'm going to
Perpetrate love with you
And when I get out, there's no doubt
I'll be sex offensive to you

Ooh-oooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
