Verse 1
(strum lightyly)
Am
I'd arrest you if i had handcuffs
Em
I'd arrest you if i had the time
C Am
I'd do it to you like you do it to me
Em
If i knew you'd get away fine
(slightly louder struming)
Am
I'd drown all these crying babies
Em
If i knew that their mothers wouldn't cry
C Am
I'd hold them down and I'd squeeze real soft
Em
and let a little piece of myself die
