[Intro]
Gadd9 Csus2
Gadd9 Csus2
[Verse 1]
G Csus2 She was doing 60 in a 35 I hit the lights and
Gadd9
pulled her over
When I reached the
Csus2
window of the driver side
There was blood from her mouth,
G
dry on her shoulder
Gadd9 I've never had much patience
Csus2
for guys that hit
G For more than just obvious reasons Gadd9 Csus2 I asked if she wanted me to take him in G She laughed it off like lemonade [Chorus]
Em7 When you're in love, you can be
Gadd9 D/F#
blinded by your own heart
Em7 You'll bend your own truth,

so twisted up
Am7
you could justify sin
Csus2 Dsus2 And when people in love are desperate
Em7
enough to abandon their dreams
Csus2 Dsus2 Gadd9 Csus2 People do despe---rate things [Verse 2]
G Csus2 I've been taking lunch breaks at her work G When the restaurant ain't too crowded Csus2 She knows me and my wife got a little girl Gadd9 We don't talk too much about it Csus2 The other night she met me way out west Gadd9 Things went further than they should have Csus2 But when she undid the buttons of her dress G I didn't stop her, but I could have [Chorus]
Em7 When you're in love, you can be
Gadd9 D/F#
blinded by your own heart
Em7 You'll bend your own truth, so twisted
Am9
up you could justify sin
Csus2 Dsus2 And when people in love are desperate
Em7
enough to abandon their dreams
Csus2 Dsus2 Gadd9 Csus2 People do despe---rate things [Verse 3]
G Csus2 I know where he drinks most every night G It's our local hero sports bar Csus2 I've got him cuffed and sweating cold G In the back of my patrol car Csus2 You forget how dark the canyon gets G It's a real uneasy feeling Csus2 I've never had much patience for guys who hit G For more than just obvious reasons [Chorus]
Em7 When you're in love, you can be
Gadd9 D/F#
blinded by your own heart
Em7 You'll bend your own truth,

so twisted up
Am7
you could justify sin
Csus2 Dsus2 And when people in love are desperate
Em7
enough to abandon their dreams
Csus2 Dsus2 Gadd9 Csus2 People do despe---rate things [Ending]
 Gadd9 Csus2
