 Ebm/Bb Bb     Ebm7Ah well he had nothing to lose
       Gb/Db
It was time to cruise

           Ebm7He knew just what to do
        Gb/Db
And made every move
      Cbmaj7     Fdim/Cb   Bb7Without leaving a trace

[Verse]
          AbmHe jumped over the fence

And hit the ground
             Ebm/GbRunning as fast as he could

Without making a sound
    AbmHis feet were flying trough dirt and mud
   Ebm/GbEach step propelled by a rush of blood
           Cb        Ebm/BbAnd all he wanted to do

Ebm  Ebm/Db  Cbmaj7 Fdim/Cb Bb7

Ebm/Bb     Bb      Well he's been running away
    Gb/Db
Ever since the day
         Cbmaj7   Fdim/Cb   Bb7He dropped out of school

He never did what they
Ebm7Told him he should
      Gb/Db
He just was no good

    Cbmaj7     Fdim/Cb   Bb7At following rules

[Verse]
          AbmBut he learned how to get

What he wanted alright
     Ebm/GbBy using a gun and a switchblade knife
      AbmHe'd start a fight and kill on a whim
   Ebm/GbAnd take your life like it belonged to him
        Cb      Ebm/BbAnd he always thought
      Abm      Ebm/Gb          Fm7(b5)If he ever did get caught
    Bb7/DHe'd make it out alive

Ebm  Ebm/Db  Cbmaj7 Fdim/Cb

Bb7     Ebm/Bb  BbMake it out     alive

Ebm  Ebm/Db  Cbmaj7 Fdim/Cb Bb7
  Ebm/Bb  Bb      AbmOh       when the cops came around

They put him under arrest
Ebm/Gb      But he couldn't care less
                  BbHe didn't even blink

When they threw him

Against the wall
         Ebm/BbHe didn't think he did

Anything wrong at all
         AbmSo they locked him up

And they put him away
      Ebm/GbBut he knew that he was

Gonna escape one day
    BbAnd so he did

And ever since then
     Ebm/BbThey tried

But they never saw

His face again

B7         Am  He still falls asleep

With just one eye closed
        Em/GLooking over his shoulder

Wherever he goes

And a house on the beach
       Em/GBut he hasn't lived

One day in peace
