Em Em Am Am
Well this is how it starts two lovers in the dark
B B
On the run from the one that they call Sheriff Sparks
Em Em Am Am
Six guns by the side and bullets ?round their waist
B B
Two shots to the sky signal sound for the chase
Em Em Am Am
The safe was nearly empty and they were nearly free
B B
But was seen by the wood eye of the mean Billy Greene
Em Em Am Am
And he screamed at the top of his lungs ?ethey?re on the run!
B B
It?s the two outsiders grab yer holsters and yer guns!?

G G Am Am
I said I wish that we could stay here
G G
But I fear our time has come
Am Am
Oh we can ride out in the darkness
G G
Chasing the rising sun
Am Am
We gotta pack our bags this instant
G G
We?re heading southbound to the next town
Am Am
And if we arrive there so safely
B B G G G G GAm
Baby you can lay me down
G G G G GAm
Lay me down
G G G G GAm
Lay me down
G G G G GAm
Lay me down

Em Em Am Am
Well it?s the story of the two always on the move
B B
They got nothing left to lose ?cept their guns and they wounds
Em Em Am Am
Now they?re crossing borders sheriff?s posse on their tail
B B
They rather die together than be stuck up in a cell
Em Em Am Am
They drank up all the whiskey and they partied every night
B B
Like it could be the last the bounty said to shoot on sight
Em Em Am Am
So they chased the endless summer though it came with a price
B B
They wouldn?t stop running ?til they found a paradise
Em Em Am Am
But the Sheriff finally found ?em with his eyes seeing red
B B
So the lovers had to shoot him down and fill him full of lead
Em Em Am Am
They were finally free to find a place to lay their head
B B
And when they finally did he looked at her and then he said:

G G Am Am
I said I wish that we could stay here
G G
But I fear our time has come
Am Am
Oh we can walk down to the ocean
G G
Chasing the rising sun
Am Am
We gotta pack our bags this instant
G G
No more running from town to town
Am Am
And if we arrive there so safely
B B G G G G GAm
Baby you can lay me down
G G G G GAm
Lay me down
G G G G GAm
Lay me down
G G G G GAm
Lay me down

G G G G G G Am Am
Well you?re my green eyed girl and I?ve been running round with you
G G G G G G Am Am
It?s the afternoon and we got nothing left to do
G G G G G G Am Am
So wipe the dirt off or take yer shirt off
G G G G G G Am Am
And we should go hit the cantina we got work off
G G G G G G Am Am
I said it?s hot outside let me go swimming in your eyes
G G G G G G Am Am
We?ve been running for a while why?oncha lay down make me smile
G G G G G G Am Am
I could never ask for nothing better than this
G G
It?s just tequila and the beach that?s why it?s salty when we kiss

G G Am Am
I said I wish that we could stay here
G G
But I feel our time has come
Am Am
Oh we can walk down to the ocean
G G
Chasing the rising sun
Am Am
We gotta pack our bags this instant
G G
No more running from town to town
Am Am
And if we arrive there so safely
B B G G G G GAm
Baby you can lay me down
G G G G GAm
Lay me down
G G G G GAm
Lay me down
G G G G GAm
Lay me down
G G
Lay me down
