"Life On The Run"
(Key of D#) (Tune guitar down 1/2 step)
(INTRO) E A (fill 1)x5 (fill 2)
(VERSE 1)
A E
She never knew my name... least not the one my daddy gave me
A E
I took off the way I came... moonlight reflectin' off the road
C G
She didn't want my story... so I didn't have to lie
D B B-C-C#-D-D#-E
If I loved her it was only for a night
(CHORUS)
E G
Livin' life on the run... you can't give your heart to no one
A C
Your only friend is the settin' sun I... didn't do what they said I done, I gotta
E G
Stay one step ahead or one of these days I'm gonna wake up dead
A C
Dropped in my tracks by a bullet from a lawman's gun
A C D E (fill 1)x3 (fill 2)
(1) Oh... you can't rest a minute when you're livin' life on the run
A C D E (fill 1)x2
(2) No... you can't rest a minute when you're livin' life on the run
Here we go
(VERSE 2)
The white lines on the road... that's the only trail I leave behind me
Been chasin' high-line poles... ever since the night I skipped out of town
Mmm... somewhere in the distance... is where I need to be
All I care about right now is speed
(REPEAT CHORUS with line 2)
(SOLO) E A C-C#-D-D#-E-G-G#-A E A A-G-F#-E-D-C B-C-C#-D-D#-E E
(BRIDGE)
E
Here they come now, gotta lay low
Done bent the law 'til the law got broke
Here they come now, gotta lay low
B A G F#
Low... low... low... low...
E
Here they come now, they're closin' in
Pack of bloodhounds gonna catch my scent
Here they come now, now gone again
D-C-C#-D-D#-E
Yeah...
