Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I'm  for law and  order,  the way that  it should be.
This  song's about the  night they spent  protecting you from  me.
Someone  called us  outlaws in  some old magazine
New  York sent a  posse down like I  ain't never seen.
Don't  you think this outlaw  shit  has gotten out of hand?
What  started out to  be a joke, the  law don't understand.
Was  it singing through my nose  that got me  busted by the man?
This  ain't it, this  outlaw shit  has gotten out of hand,
 Out of hand.
We  were wrapped up in the music, that's  why we never saw,
The  cars pull up,  the boys get out  and the room fill up with law.
They  came pounding through the back  door in the  middle of my song.
They  got me for possession of  something that was long gone.
Don't  you think this outlaw  shit  has gotten out of hand?
What  started out to  be a joke, the  law don't understand.
Was  it singing through my nose  that got me  busted by the man?
This  ain't it, this  outlaw shit  has gotten out of hand,
 Out of hand.
