Verse 1
Em                             Am
Well this is how it starts Two lovers in the dark
B
On the run, from the one That they called Sheriff Spark
Em                         Am
Six guns by their side and bullets around their waist
B
Two shots to the sky Signal sound for the chase
Em                        Am    
The safe was nearly empty and They were nearly free
B
But were seen by the Good eye of the mean Billy Green
Em                                Am
And he screamed at the top of his lungs They're on the run
B
It's the two outsiders Grab your horses and your guns

Chorus:
G                                      Am
I said I wish that We could stay here,
                             G
But I fear our time has come
                                  Am
We could ride out in the darkness
                         G
Chasing the rising sun
                                    Am
We gotta pack our bags this instant,
                                           G
We're heading south-bound to the next town
                                      Am
And if we all arrive there so safely,

Baby you can

Em                             Am
Well it's the story of the two Always on the move.
B
They got nothing left to lose 'Cept their guns and their wounds
Em                                    Am
Now they're crossing borders Sheriffs posse on their tail
B
They'd rather die together Than be stuck up in a cell.
Em                                     Am
They drank up all the whiskey and They partied every night
B
Like it could be the last The bounty said shoot on sight.
Em                                Am
So they chased the endless summer Though it came with the pride.
B
They wouldn't stop running till They found a paradise.
Em                                          Am      
But the sheriff finally found them with his eyes seeing red.
B
So the lovers had to shoot him down and fill him full of lead
Em                               Am
They were finally free To find a place to lay their head
B
And when they finally did he looked at her and then he said.

Cause I feel our time has come.
                                  Am
And we can walk down to the ocean,
                             G
And sit with the rising sun.
