Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

Do I have to put the law on you baby for all the wicked things you do?

Am I gonna have to put the law on you baby?

That was not what I wanted to do.

Verse 2

Do I have to put the law on you baby

try to make you come out clean for every evil deed?

You're just about the lowest and the dirtiest thing I've ever seen.

Chorus

Did you really think you could pull it off, the perfect crime, crime of the heart?

And did you really think that you'll get away, do the crime and ne-ever pay?

Verse 3

Do I have to put the law on you baby

Lock you up and throw away the key

For the countless counts of low down double-cross you've been about?

Have you no ... no decency?

Chorus

Did you really think that you could pull it off, the perfect crime, crime of the heart?

Did you really think that you'll get away, escape my justice until you're dying day?

Instrumental break

Chorus

Though you made it clear from the very start there was no trusting you in my foolish heart.

Though you maybe made it clear that didn't make it right. [???]

Do you really really think you'll get away? You can't escape my justice 'til my dying day.
