Start Jamming...
I'm a bad cop, [C] black and ready to go
[G] I'm standing here [C] outside the door
[G] I hate to wake you up [D] to say goodbye
[G] When the dawn is breaking [C] and the girl is mowing
[E] Taxi's waiting, these lawns are [G] sowing
Already [C] I'm so lonesome [D] I could
So [G]
kiss [C] me and smile for [G] me
Tell me [C] that you'll wait for [G] me
Hold me [C] like you'll never [D] let me go
[G] Cause I'm bleeding [C] on a [G] deathbed
Don't [C] know when I'll be [G] back again
Oh [C] babe, I [D] hate to go
[G] So many [C] times I let you down
[G] There's so [D] many times I fucked around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
But [G] every place I [C] go I'll think of you
[G] Every song I [C] sing I'll sing for you
[G] When I come back [C] I'll bring your wedding [D]
