"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 chrome
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...

(OUTRO)
E                          G  A  C
Livin' life on the run...
E                                       G  A  C
You can't give your heart to no one...
A                                   C           D          E
You can't rest a minute when you're livin' life on the run
          A                               C            D           E   (fill 1)x7 (fill 2) (fill 3)
No... you can't rest a minute when you're livin' life...... on the run
