VERSE ONE: 
          C                                                   G 
When your feathers are soaked and your eyes are too bloody to see, 
         C                                                       G 
and you pulled every punch that you had but there's one that you need, 
            D                          Em 
then you've waited too long, there's a hole in your heart, 
    C                                     D  C 
and all you've become is emotionally overrun. 
                   G       D      C  D                   G       D          C   D 
Wishing wells were made to echo a dime, the consequences are you keep on relying, 
                Em      D       C                G
you've become a run and hide refugee, baby I'm a cop, 
                  D                     C 
stop, put up your hands and surrender to me. 
VERSE TWO: 
 
You're gonna get hooked if there's anything left I can do, 
you've already disarmed it's your lasting alarm I pursue, 
you can loosen those fists,c'mon blow me a kiss, 
you've been roughed up enough to deserve some relief from your troubles,  
so I'm coming in. 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
BRIDGE: 
F                                          C 
Otherwise, I would never tell you what to do despite, 
                        G                                      D 
any indecision though I know I'm right, arguing was always my forte, 
                                   Am 
and one thing I can say is I won't tell you lies, 
                                    F 
or treat you like a rental car like other guys, 
                                    C 
and if you think I'm crazy find an alibi, 
                                    G     D 
cause you will need some evidence to show. 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
Baby I'm a cop, stop, put up your hands and surrender to me
