[G]
Maria, please don't leave me now, [Am] I need you.
[D] I'm a wanted, [Am] there's nowhere I [G] can go.
My hopes turned down, my luck spun round [C] and left me.
No, [Am] I didn't see it [C] coming, but oh, I'm watching [G] it go.
So I chose the company of those who don't [C] need protection.
[D] Took a new name, [Am] mostly to fool [G] my friends.
Swore off the days when I had to count [C] on the others.
[Am] Because courting the knife [C] means counting your [G] days to the end.
I made enemies of those who might [Am] defend me.
[D] Honored with men [C] that I brought to do [G] me in.
Staking my way, as deals would [C] make you wonder.
[Am] What kind of hell are [C] these killers dying [G] to win?
Did [D] I lose my way, or [G] did I just play?
The cards, the way the dealer gave [C] them to me.
[D] I try not to regret [Em] things that I've done yet.
[D] I know [G] no pardon [D] here [Em] for [D] the guilty.
[C]
[Bm] [D] [G] Some games you play to win, [Am] will lose.
[D] Sometimes you're dealt, [C] you don't get [G] killed.
Some guns get drawn, but you don't need [C] to use them.
[Am] Some tried that [C] before their troubles [G] began.
Oh, but I, oh, but I, I [Am] seem to have it all.
I [D] had the women, [C] had the law [G] by my side.
I climbed so high, the sky dropped [C] down to teach me.
[Am] How to live low, [C] keep my ear to [G] the ground.

I'll [D] get caught one day, at least [G] that's what they say.
Ripped hands are but a killer's way [C] of trying.
[D] Don't ask me to confess, [Em] my peace will come on rest.
[D] [G] Confessing's [D] just an [Em] honest way [D] of lying.
[C]
[Bm] [D] [G] My nerves are tangled and I'm cursed with the [C] fear of knowing.
[Am] No alibis [C] or ties left to keep [G] me going.
[Am] No alibis [C] or ties left to keep [G] me going.
[Am] No alibis [C] or ties left to [G]
[Am] keep me [C] going.
