This is my first tab for a website, so be patient with it;
I saw a whole bunch of tabs on the internet with half the
song cut out, so I just had to laugh as the song goes.
I'm 99% sure these are the chords used, take accurate
timing by listening to the song while practising.
And there's a difference between G# and G#m
[spoken]
I saw you standing on the corner, you looked so big and fine. 
I really wanted to go out with you, so when you smiled, 
I laid my heart on the line
Intro/Hook:
E, A,  Bx2
EYou read me my rights and then Ayou said "Let's Bgo" and nothing Emore
I thought of my nights, and Ahow they were
BThey were filled with --
AI know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my Bheart burst then you'd step in
G#I had to know so I aAsked
You just had to Elaugh
[intro/hook x 2]
EWe sat in the night with my hands Acuffed at Bmy ... Eside
I look at your life and your Astyle
I Bwanted nothing Amore
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my Bheart burst then you'd step inG#  
I had to know so I Aasked
You just had to Elaugh
[intro/hook]
C#mWalking the line, you were a marksman
ATold me that law, like wine, is ageless
F#Public dBefender
C#mYou had to admit
You Awanted the love of a F#sex Boffender
[guitar solo: E, G#m, A, B]
AI know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my Bheart burst then you'd step inG#  
I had to know so I Aasked
You just had to Elaugh
EMy vision in blue, I Acall you fBrom inside my cEell
And in the trial, you were Athere
With your Bbadge and rubber Eboots
I think all the time how I'm goinAg to pBerpetrate love with Eyou
And when I get out, there's no Adoubt I'll be Bsex offensive to Eyou
