Somewhere they can find me

VERSE 1:

A G

I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love,

Am E

As she lies here beside me asleep with the night.

A G

Her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow,

Am D/F# E7

Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight.

CHORUS:

C Am

But I've got to creep down the alleyway,

G

Fly down the highway,

Am C Am F E9

Before they come to catch me I'll be gone.

G Am Am/G F E Am Am/G F E

Somewhere they can't find me.

VERSE 2:

Oh baby, you don't know what I've done,

I've committed a crime, I've broken the law.

While you were here sleeping and just dreaming of me,

I held up and robbed a liquor store.

CHORUS

VERSE 3:

Oh my life seems unreal, my crime an illusion,

A scene badly written in which I must play.

And though it puts me uptight to leave you,

I know it's not right to leave you,

When morning is just a few hours away.

CHORUS

OUTRO:

Am Am/G F E

Am Am/G F E (repeat and fade)
