Cop Car - Keith Urban

Capo 1

[Verse]

F C

We drove right past

Am G

That no trespassing sign

F C

We sat on the tailgate

Am G

And watched the planes take off

F C

We thought we had all night

There was no need to rush

That's when those cops

Came pulling up

And I thought

Am G

Man, ain't this some....

[Pre-Chorus]

F C

Your daddy's gonna kill me

Am G

But if I survive tonight

F C

I wouldn't change one thing

Baby, yeah

I know it sounds crazy

[Chorus]

But there was somethin' bout the way

The blue lights were shinin'

Am G

Bringing out the freedom in your eyes

I was too busy watching you

Going wild child

Am G

To be worried about going to jail

You were thinking that

Running for it

Would make a good story

Am G

I was thinking you were crazy as hell

And you were so

Innocent

But you were stealing my heart

Am G

I fell in love in the back of a cop car

F C Am G

[Verse 2]

F C

Man, they weren't playin'

Am G

They sure threw those cuffs on quick

F C

You tried to sweet talk 'em

Am G

They didn't fall for it, but I did

F C

You were on the left

I was on the right

I knew you didn't smoke

When you asked him for a light

And I laughed

Am G

He got mad and slammed the door

[Pre-Chorus]

F C

I swear your daddy's gonna kill me

Am G

But if I survive tonight

F C

I wouldn't change one thing

Baby, yeah

I know it sounds crazy

[Chorus]

But there was somethin' bout the way

The blue lights were shinin'

Am G

Bringing out the freedom in your eyes

I was too busy watching you

Going wild child

Am G

To be worried about going to jail

You were thinking that

Running for it

Would make a good story

I was thinking you were crazy as hell

And you were so

But you were stealing my heart

Am G

I fell in love in the back of a cop car

F C Am G

[Bridge]

Side by side

And locked in tight

They were taking their time

But we didn't mind

We talked and we laughed

We sat real close

Am G

By the time they let us go

F C Am G

I was already gone

[Chorus]

But there was somethin' bout the way

The blue lights were shinin'

Am G

Bringing out the freedom in your eyes

I was too busy watching you

Going wild child

Am G

To be worried about going to jail

You were thinking that

Running for it

Would make a good story

Am G

I was thinking you were crazy as hell

And you were so

Innocent

But you were stealing my heart
