[Verse 1]
G         Bb            Dm      Cadd9  G   Bb
Listen to me I've got a warning for you
              Dm       Cadd9     G   Bb
You've got to learn to take more care
               Dm      Cadd9  G   Bb
Because if you swim in dirty  water
   Dm               Cadd9   G   Bb
Be careful how you dry your hair
     Dm      Cadd9  G   Bb
In a room within a  room
     Dm      Cadd9  G   Bb
In a hole within a  hole
              Dm       Cadd9      G      Bb
You've got to learn to share your secrets
          Dm   Cadd9  G   Dm  C
Or you'll lose your   soul
 
 
[Chorus]
F            C
I've got the evidence,
  Dm          Bb
I know you're broke
F       C     Dm
The unwritten law
F       C             Dm
Another town, another one-night stand
C   Bb  C  Bb           C   Gm
You know,    you broke the law

[Verse 2]
Bb      Dm      Cadd9  G   Bb
It's so hard to hold   back
         Dm      Cadd9   G   Bb
When the fire is in your eyes
         Dm     Cadd9 G    Bb
A silver dollar in my pocket
  Dm    Cadd9   G   Bb
I don't like surprises
     Dm       Cadd9 G  Bb
I've got your souvenir
     Dm    Cadd9             G   Bb
Is that the price I've got to pay
     Dm   Cadd9     G   Bb
It hasn't been that long
          Dm Cadd9 G   Dm  C
Since the last charade
 
 
[Chorus]
F            C
I've got the evidence,
  Dm          Bb
I know you're broke
F       C     Dm
The unwritten law

Another town, another one-night stand
C   Bb  C  Bb           C   Gm
You know,    you broke the law

[Verse 3]
  Dm          Cadd9 G Bb
I know you're guilty
        Dm   Cadd9   G   Bb
But I'm carrying the blame
           Dm        Cadd9      G  Bb
I took out much more than I put in
      Dm Cadd9 G  Bb
And I felt the pain
     Dm    Cadd9  G   Bb
In a dirty little room
     Dm      Cadd9   G  Bb
With nowhere left to hide
    Dm       Cadd9           G   Bb
You told the truth with your eyes
        Dm Cadd9 G   Dm  C
But you li-ed  inside
 
 
[Chorus]
F            C
I've got the evidence,
  Dm          Bb
I know you're broke
F       C     Dm
The unwritten law
F       C             Dm
Another town, another one-night stand
C   Bb  C  Bb
You know,    you broke the law
 
 
[Chorus]
F            C
I've got the evidence,
  Dm          Bb
I know you're broke

The unwritten law
F       C             Dm
Another town, another one-night stand
C   Bb  C  Bb           C   Gm
You know,    you broke the law
