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

I was chasin' a guy with eyes of blue

       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

He grabbed my heart and took off on the run 
       F   C   D 
It was highway robbery, 
                          F        E         A 
He ought to do time in my arms for what he's done

A                                   D

          A                                              E 
Won't you turn that blue light on and help me catch that bandit 
A 
He's got something that belongs to "T" 
D 
I can't let him get away scot-free 
E                F E 
Oh its only right, that he's mine tonight
