Start Jamming...
[N] [D] [A]
I look for 12 and the founded [Am] son straight [A] down the barrel of a lawman's gun.
I'd like to run but I don't [Am] think I can.
You make one move and you're a dead man.
[D] Ain't living long like this.
[A] Ain't living long like this, ain't I baby?
[E] You know the story about the jailhouse rock.
Go on and do it but just don't get [D] convicted.
I'm all, all in the jail now baby.
[A] Ain't living long like this.
Ain't living long like this, ain't I baby?
Hello?

I look for Angel, she's a roadhouse queen.
Make Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee.
I'd like to love her but I don't know how.
She's [Am] on the bottom in the jailhouse now.
Ain't [D] living long like this.
[A] Ain't living long like this, ain't I baby?
[E] They put the handcuffs on behind my back.
Left me a ring and on a steel rail.
I got [D] it all in the jailhouse baby.
[A] Ain't living long like this.
[Am] [A] Can't live at all like this, can I baby?
Can't live at all like this, [D]
