I'm quite sure the timing will end up wrong in the bridge, but it's hard to work it out.
With the chords, you shoul dbe able to figure it out for yourself! I'm quite sure this
end up looking a mess when it's submitted, but you'll get the gist.
UPDATE: Chord diagrams added, finally, hope that helps, sorry they weren't there before!

(Tuning: Standard - E,A,D,G,B,E)
I’d ar[G]rest you if [Aadd9]I had [Bm]handcuffs
I’d ar[G]rest you if [Aadd9]I had the [Bm]time
I’d [G]throw you [Aadd9]down in the [Bm]backseat
As if you'd [Asus2/F#]committed a terrible [G]crime
G Aadd9 Bm (x4)
I'd [G]break in a [Aadd9]town's worth of [Bm]houses
And [G]rob whole [Aadd9]families [Bm]blind
I’d [G]do it to [Aadd9]you like you'd [Bm]do it to me
If you [Asus2/F#]knew you would get away [G]fine
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/brand_new/handcuffs_crd.html )
I’d [G]drown all these [Aadd9]crying [Bm]babies
If I [G]knew that their [Aadd9]mothers wouldn’t [Bm]cry
I’d [G]hold them [Aadd9]down and I’d [Bm]squeeze real soft
And [Asus2/F#]let a piece of [G]myself [Aadd9]die
[G/D]It’s hard to be the [Dadd11]better man
When [Em7/B]you forget you’re trying
It’s [G]hard to [Asus2/F#]be the [G]better [Aadd9]man[G]
I’d [G]arrest you if [Aadd9]I had [Bm]handcuffs
I’d [G]arrest you if [Aadd9]I had the [Bm]time
I’d [G]wait for you [Aadd9]outside the [Bm]courtroom
And [Asus2/F#]taunt you when all your appeals were [G]declined
I’d [G]drive my [Aadd9]car off of a [Bm]bridge
If I [G]knew that you [Aadd9]weren’t in[Bm]side
With the [G]pedal to the [Aadd9]floor, who could [Bm]ask for a more
Fantastic [Asus2/F#]way to kill some [G]time[Aadd9]
[B5]You could lay on your back and be [Bm7/G]beaten
You could put up your fists and [D5/B]fight
You could try and be way off
[G/D]It’s hard to be the [Dadd11]better man
When you f[Em7/B]orget you’re trying
It’s [G]hard to [D/F#]be the [Em]better [D/F#]man
When you’re still lying
[G/D]It’s hard to be the [Dadd11]better man
When you [Em7/B]forget you’re trying
It’s [G]hard [Dadd11/F#] to [Em]be the [Dadd11/F#]better man
When [G]you’re [Dadd11/F#]still [Em]lying[Dadd11/F#]
[G]You’re [Dadd11/F#]still [Em]lying[Dadd11/F#]
[B5] [F#5] [G5]
