[A]
I was ready, [D] I was in it [A] But before you write me up, let me tell [E] you
the reason I [A] wasn't trying to outrun you
[D] I was chasing you down without a bruise [E] You could hear me cry back about a [A] mile or two
Oh yeah, I was cruising along when he pulled up [D] out of nowhere
[A] He was hotter than a Jag and drove in just [E] one lane over
He [A] aimed those angel eyes at me, [D] he smiled like we were meant to [E] be
Oh, he stole [D] my [E] heart from a moving car [A] It was [C] highway [A] robbery
He [D] grabbed my heart and took off [E] on the run It [F] was [C] highway [D] robbery
He ought to do time in [F] my [G] arms for what [A] he's done
So hey officer, now that you [D] understand it
[A] Why don't you turn your blue light on and get me catch [E] that bandit
[A] He's got something that belongs to T [D] I can't let him get away, [G] Scott Freeman
[E] Oh, it's only [D] right
[E] That he's mine tonight [A] It was highway [C] [A] robbery
[D] He grabbed my heart and took off [E] on the run It [F] was [C] highway [D] robbery
He ought to do time in [F] my arms [G] for what [A] he's done
It was highway [C] [A] robbery
[D] Well, he grabbed my heart and took off on [E] the run
[F] [C] [D] He's got me
He ought to do time in [F] my arms [G] for what [F#m] he's done
[A]
He [D] ought to do [F] time in [G] my arms for what [A] he's done
Hey officer, [Am] [A] let's talk about this
[C] By [A] the time you let me go, that ball will be all the way in Texas
I don't think so
By the way, you try it, yeah
