A                 E
The night was dark, your lights were bright 
D                 E
You pulled me over, I wasn't feeling so right 
A                     E
Stepped out to the car, rolled my window down
D                      E
Handed you my license, registration with a frown 

    D                      E
But I could tell by the look in your eyes 
     A              E/G#  F#m 
That you'd be going for a ride in the passenger side
D                   E             A
And you wouldn't be issuing any citations 

        A
But you tore me out the car
E                       D
Pulled my arms back too far
                          E
Made me walk the line and shined that flashlight in my eyes
A                        E 
Made me say the alphabet backwards with your cuffs in arm
D                            E
Searched my pockets and took all my bud

             D                 E
You know the night is dark and lonely
A       E/G#   F#m     D
Without you by my side 
            E               A
I hear your sirens, run and hide 

A                E
I didn't mean to write that ransom note
       D                       E
It was just a joke, so I could see you again
    A                     E                      D
And how many times must I rob a liquor store, to see you more
   E
To just be friends 

             D               E
But when you pull up to that crime scene
       A                  E/G# F#m
I knew it wouldn't nice but oh so mean
        D                        E                     A
When you pull out your cuffs and give me all your affection 


        A
But you tore me out the car
E                       D
Pulled my arms back too far
                          E
Made me walk the line and shined that flashlight in my eyes
A                        E 
Made me say the alphabet backwards with your cuffs in arm
D                            E
Searched my pockets and took all my bud

             D                 E
You know the night is dark and lonely
A       E/G#   F#m     D
Without you by my side 
            E       D              E     D
I hear your sirens,   I hear your sirens
            E               A
I hear your sirens, run and hide
