Capo 2nd Fret (to match original recording)

Intro: (G7) (G7) (G7) (G7)

O(G7)kay officer, I admit it, I was spee(C7)din'
But be(G7)fore you write me up, let me tell you the (D7) reason
(G7) I wasn't tryin' to outrun you
I was (C7) chasin' a guy who, out of the blue
He comm(D7)itted a crime back about a mile or (G7) two, oh yeah

I was (G7) cruisin' along when he pulled up out of (C7) nowhere
He was (G7) hotter than the Jag he drove just one lane (D7) over
He (G7) aimed those angel eyes at me
He (C7) smiled like we were meant to be
(D7) Oh he stole my heart (C) (D7) from a movin' car

  It was (G) high(Bb)way (G) robbery
  He (C7) grabbed my heart and took off on the (D7) run
  It was (Eb) high(Bb)way (C) robbery
  He oughta do time in my (Bb) arms for (F) what he's (G7) done

So hey officer, how 'bout you understandin'
Won't you turn your blue light on and help me catch that bandit
He's got somethin' that belongs to T
I can't let him get away scot-free
For it's only right that he's mine tonight

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

  He oughta (C) do time in my (Bb) arms for (F) what he's (G7) done

Hey (G7) officer, let's talk about this now
(G7) By the time you let me go, that boy'll be all the way in Texas
(G7) Sure is good lookin'
(g7) By the way, what color are your eyes?
