Intro   A 
 
Verse 1 
A                               D 
Okay Officer, I admit it, I was speedin' 
    A                                           E 
But before you write me up, let me tell you the reason 
A 
I wasn't tryin' to outrun run you 
      D 
I was chasin' a guy with eyes of blue 
    E                                      A 
Who committed a crime back about a mile or two 
 
Verse 2 
A                                             D 
I was cruisin' along when he pulled up out of nowhere 
       A                                              E 
He was hotter than the Jag he drove and just one lane over 
   A 
He aimed those angel eyes at me 
    D 
And smiled like we were meant to be 
E                   F E 
Oh he stole my heart, from a movin' car

Won't you turn that blue light on and help me catch that bandit 
A 
He's got something that belongs to "T"

I can't let him get away scot-free

Oh its only right, that he's mine tonight
