These chords are based off of his live version. I don't have tabs for the second guitar part (which sounds pretty cool) but these are the chords that Sam plays throughout the song. Capo 4 C : x32033 (hammer on your index finger on the G string to play like him) G : 320033 (hammer on your index finger on the A string) Em: x22033 D: x00233 [Verse 1] C G We drove right past Em D That no trespassing sign C G We sat on the tailgate Em D And watched the planes take off We thought we had all night There was no need to rush That's when those cops Came pulling up And I thought Man, ain't this some shhhh [Pre-Chorus] Your daddy's gonna kill me But if I survive tonight I wouldn't change one thing Baby, yeah I know it sounds crazy -Repeat that progression the whole song as far as I can tell- [Chorus] But there was somethin' 'bout the way The blue lights were shinin' Bringing out the freedom in your eyes I was too busy watching you going wild child 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 You were so innocent But you were stealing my heart I fell in love in the back of a cop car [Verse 2] Man, they weren't playin' They sure put those cuffs on quick You tried to sweet talk 'em They didn't fall for it, but I did 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 He got mad and slammed the door [Pre-Chorus] I swear your daddy's gonna kill me But if I survive tonight 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' Bringing out the freedom in your eyes I was too busy watching you going wild child 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 You were so innocent But you were stealing my heart I fell in love in the back of a cop car [Bridge] And you were like (oh woah oh) 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 By the time they let us go I was already gone [Chorus] Cause there was somethin' 'bout the way The blue lights were shinin' Bringing out the freedom in your eyes I was too busy watching you going wild child 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 But you were so innocent But you were stealing my heart I fell in love in the back the back the cop car [Outro] I fell in love in the back of a cop car (cop car)
