[G#] I saw you standing on the corner, you looked so big and fine.
I really wanted to go out with [E] you.
So when you smiled, I laid my heart on the [Am] line.
[E]
[A] [B] [E]
[F#] [A] [B] [E]
You read me my mind, and then [A] you said,
[B] Let's go and nothing [E] more.
I'd have [A] a world, [B] world filled [A] with,
I know you wouldn't go.
[B] You'd watch my heart burst and,
You'd step in,
[G#] I had to know, so [A] I,
You [E] just had to laugh.
[B] [E]
We sat in the night, with [A] my hair cut,
[B] And my [E] eyes,
I looked at your life, and [A] your style.
[B] You all did [A] nothing more, I know,
You wouldn't go, [B] you'd watch my heart burst and,
You'd step [G#] in,
I had to know, [A] so I,
You just [E] had [B] to laugh.
[C#] Walking the line, you were a [A] monument,
So may that law, like wine, is [F#] a less public [B] vendor.
[C#] You had to admit, you [A] wanted,
The [Am] love of [F#] a sex [B] offender.
[E] Oh.
[G#m] [A]
[B] [A] [E] I [F#] [A] know, you wouldn't [B] go,
You'd watch my heart burst and,
You'd step in,
[G#]
So [A] I,
You [E] just had [B]
[E] my vision in blue,
[A] [B] Inside, you had [E] nightmares,
And in the trial, you [A] were there with,
[B] Your badge and rubber [E] boots.
I think I'll retire,
[A] Going to,
[B] Put the [E] trailer for you,
And when I get out, there's no [A] doubt,
[B] I'll be sending a message [E] to you.
I'll be sending a message to you.
[A] [B] [E] [A] [B]
