We hit a snag when we tripped the alarm

To this perfect crime

In a cold cock.  I will do time

So we ran around town with the cops snapping on our tails

G                                                            D
Because we’d rather brave death then a fist-fuck in county jail

Just for the perfect crime
For the perfect crime
