I saw you standing on the co

you looked so big and fine

I really wanted to go

out with you - so when you s

I laid my heart on the line

E You read me my rights

and then you

A said - Let's

B go - and nothing more

E I thoughts of my nights

and how they

A were

B they were filled with

A I know you

wouldn't go - you'd watch my

B heart burst - then

you'd step in

so I

A asked

you just had to laugh

you were the marksman B

A told me that law like

wine is ageless - the

B fender

to admit - you B

A wanted the

love of a

B fender

E Ooh

A I know you

wouldn't go - you'd watch my

B heart burst, then

you'd step in

so I asked

you just had to laugh

E My vision in blue

I call you

A from in

B side my

E cell - and in the trial

you were there
