Em
Well this is how it starts two lovers in the dark
B
On the run from the one that they call Sheriff Sparks
Em
Six guns by the side and bullets 'round their waist
B

Two shots to the sky signal sound for the chase
Em
The safe was nearly empty and they were nearly free
B
But was seen by the wood eye of the mean Billy Greene
Em
And he screamed at the top of his lungs ?they?re on the run!
B
It?s the two wildsiders grab yer holsters and yer guns!?

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

Em
Well it?s the story of the two always on the move
B
They got nothing left to lose 'cept their guns and they wounds
Em
Now they?re crossing borders sheriff?s posse on their tail
B
They rather die together than be stuck up in a cell
Em
They drank up all the whiskey and they partied every night
B
Like it could be the last the bounty said to shoot on sight
Em
 So they chased the endless summer though it came with a price
B
They wouldn?t stop running 'til they found a paradise
Em
But the Sheriff finally found 'em with his eyes seeing red
B
So the lovers had to shoot him down and fill him full of lead
Em
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:

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

G G G Am
Well you?re my green eyed girl and I?ve been running round with you

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

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