G G C C
Verse 1
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 called Sheriff Spark
Em Em Am Am
Six guns by their side and bullets around 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 were seen by the Good eye of the mean Billy Green
Em Em Am Am
And he screamed at the top of his lungs They're on the run
B B
It's the two outsiders Grab your horses and your guns

Chorus:
G G Am Am
I said I wish that We could stay here,
G G
But I fear our time has come
Am Am
We could 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 south-bound to the next town
Am Am
And if we all arrive there so safely,

Baby you can
G G G G G G Am Am
Lay me down...
G G G G G G Am Am
Lay me down...
G G G G G G Am Am
Lay me down...
G G G G G G Am Am
Lay me down...

Verse 2
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 their wounds
Em Em Am Am
Now they're crossing borders Sheriffs posse on their tail
B B
They'd 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 shoot on sight.
Em Em Am Am
So they chased the endless summer Though it came with the pride.
B B
They wouldn't stop running till They found a paradise.
Em Em Am Am
But the sheriff finally found them 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.

Chorus
G G Am Am
I said I think that we can stay here,
G G
Cause I feel our time has come.
Am Am
And we can walk down to the ocean,
G G
And sit with the rising sun.
Am Am
So unpack your bags this instant,
G G
No more running from town to town
Am Am
And now that we've arrived so safely,

Baby you can

G G G G

G G G G G G Am Am
Lay me down...
G G G G G G Am Am
Lay me down...
G G G G G G Am Am
Lay me down...
G G G G G G Am Am
Lay me down...

G G G G G G Am Am
Well you're my green-eyed girl And I've been running around 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 your 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 don't you lay down and make smile.
G G G G G G Am Am
I could never ask for nothing better than this.
G G G G G G G G
It's just tequila and the beach, that's why its salty when we kiss.

G G Am Am
I said I think that we can stay here,
G G
Cause I feel our time has come.
Am Am
And we can walk down to the ocean,
G G
And sit with the rising sun.
Am Am
So unpack your bags this instant,
G G
No more running from town to town
Am Am
And now that we've arrived so safely,

Baby you can

G G G G
