[Intro]
A# F Dm C 2x
[Verse]
A# F
We drove right past
Dm C
That no trespassing sign
A# F
We sat on the tailgate
Dm C
And watched the planes take off
A# F
We thought we had all night
Dm
There was no need to rush
C
That's when those cops
A#
Came pulling up
F
And I thought
Dm C
Man, ain't this some....
[Pre-chorus]
A# F
Your daddy's gonna kill me
Dm C
But if I survive tonight
A# F
I wouldn't change one thing
Dm
Baby, yeah
C
I know it sounds crazy
[Chorus]
A#
But there was somethin' bout the way
F
The blue lights were shinin'
Dm C
Bringing out the freedom in your eyes
A#
I was too busy watching you
F
Going wild child
Dm C
To be worried about going to jail
You were thinking that
A#
Running for it
F
Would make a good story
Dm C
I was thinking you were crazy as hell
And you were so
A#
Innocent
F
But you were stealing my heart
Dm C
I fell in love in the back of a cop car
[Interlude]
A# F Dm C
[Verse]
A# F
Man, they weren't playin'
Dm C
They sure threw those cuffs on quick
A# F
You tried to sweet talk 'em
Dm C
They didn't fall for it, but I did
A# F
You were on the left
Dm
I was on the right
C
I knew you didn't smoke
A#
When you asked him for a light
F
And I laughed
Dm C
He got mad and slammed the door
[Pre-chorus]
A# F
I swear your daddy's gonna kill me
Dm C
But if I survive tonight
A# F
I wouldn't change one thing
Dm
Baby, yeah
C
I know it sounds crazy
[Chorus]
A#
But there was somethin' bout the way
F
The blue lights were shinin'
Dm C
Bringing out the freedom in your eyes
A#
I was too busy watching you

Going wild child

Dm C
I fell in love in the back of a cop car
[Interlude]
A# F Dm C 2x
[Bridge]
A#
Side by side
F
And locked in tight
Dm
They were taking their time
C
But we didn't mind
A#
We talked and we laughed
F
We sat real close
Dm C
By the time they let us go
[Solo]
A# F Dm C
I was already gone
A# F Dm C
[Chorus]
A#
But there was somethin' bout the way
F
The blue lights were shinin'

Bringing out the freedom in your eyes
