Chords

This is my first tab for a website, so be patient with it; I saw a whole bunch of tabs on the internet with half the song cut out, so I just had to laugh as the song goes. I'm 99% sure these are the chords used, take accurate timing by listening to the song while practising. And there's a difference between G# and G#m [spoken] 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 Intro/Hook: E, A, B x2
E                              A              B               E
You read me my rights and then you said "Let's go" and nothing more

                            A
I thought of my nights, and how they were

B
They were filled with --

A
I know you wouldn't go

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

G#                  A
I had to know so I asked

                E
You just had to laugh
[intro/hook x 2]
E                                 A         B      E
We sat in the night with my hands cuffed at my ... side

                             A
I look at your life and your style

  B              A
I wanted nothing more
I know you wouldn't go
               B                                  G#
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in

                   A
I had to know so I asked

                E
You just had to laugh
[intro/hook]
C#m
Walking the line, you were a marksman

A
Told me that law, like wine, is ageless

F#      B
Public defender

C#m
You had to admit

    A                    F#  B
You wanted the love of a sex offender
[guitar solo: E, G#m, A, B]
A
I know you wouldn't go

               B                                  G#
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in

                   A
I had to know so I asked

                E
You just had to laugh

E                    A         B              E
My vision in blue, I call you from inside my cell

                           A
And in the trial, you were there

          B                E
With your badge and rubber boots

                                 A     B                   E
I think all the time how I'm going to perpetrate love with you

                               A             B                E
And when I get out, there's no doubt I'll be sex offensive to you
