Bridge 

G                 Em  D 
And he's got my name 
          C 
Tatooed on his arm 
His lucky charm, 
G             Em 
So I guess its okay 
         D  C 
He's with me 

G                 Em  D 
And I hear people talk 
            C 
Trying to make remarks 
Keep us apart 
G               Em 
But I don't even hear 
         D  C 
I don't care 

 

Em                        D 
But mama i'm in love with a criminal 
Am 
And this type of love 
     G             Bm 
Isn't rational, it's physical 
Em
