Highway Robbery

Intro   A

Verse 1
A                             
Okay Officer, I admit it, I was 
  D
speedin'
    A                              
But before you write me up, let me 
             E
tell you the reason
A
I wasn't tryin' to outrun run you
      D
I was chasin' a guy with eyes of 
blue
    E                              
Who committed a crime back about a 
        A
mile or two

Verse 2
A                                 
I was cruisin' along when he 
            D
pulled up out of nowhere
       A                           
He was hotter than the Jag he drove
                   E
 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
