Standard (EADGBE)

, , x2

You read me my rights and then you said "Let's go" and nothing more

 I thought of my nights, and how they were

They were filled with --

I know you wouldn't go

 You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in

I had to know so I asked

 You just had to laugh

[intro/hook x 2]

We sat in the night with my hands cuffed at my ... side

 I look at your life and your style

 I wanted nothing more

I know you wouldn't go

 You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in

 I had to know so I asked

 You just had to laugh

[intro/hook]

Walking the line, you were a marksman

Told me that law, like wine, is ageless

Public defender

You had to admit

 You wanted the love of a sex offender

I know you wouldn't go

 You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in

 I had to know so I asked

 You just had to laugh

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
