Still Know Your Number By Heart

G G Emptying out my pocket's things G Wondering why the caged bird sings G Charged with the same dang crime G Sentenced for the third dang time E A B I'm not innocent I never said I was E But my lawyer doesn't have a tongue A B Like Jesse Jackson does E But here inside this prison cell A B I keep remembering C D My parole officer was the purtiest thing G C G And I still know your number by heart G C D Even though you no longer play a part C D G C Well I don't know if it's love or if I'm smart C D G But I still know your number by heart G Dreaming of the hours we spent G Sure beats breaking up cement G We were introduced by fate G Sort of like a first blind date E Our secret rendezvous A B Set free this heart of mine E But I know that you'd follow me A B Across the county line E And I've seen how drugs and alcohol A B Can get your dander up C D But for your assurance I'd pee in any cup G C G And I still know your number by heart G C D Even though you no longer play a part C D G C Well I don't know if it's love or if I'm smart C D G F But I still know your number by heart D I saw a statue of a lady D And justice was her name D And I knew the balance that she held D Would some day tip my way D7 Some poet said that love's blind, too D7 But I could see its plan D7 Cuz that little job I pulled last year D7 Some day made me your man G E I dream of breaking out A B Your pull is so intense E The hounds of love A B Keep barking through the fence E But I know in three to five A B I'll need you even more C D I pray my file comes knocking at your door G C G And I still know your number by heart G C D Even though you no longer play a part C D G C Well I don't know if it's love or if I'm smart C D C But I still know your number by heart G F G D G
