Verse
[Ebm/Bb] [Bb] [Ebm7]
Ah well he had nothing to lose
[Gb/Db]
It was time to cruise
[Cbmaj7] [Fdim/Cb] [Bb7]
And he got out of that place
[Ebm7]
He knew just what to do
[Gb/Db]
And made every move
[Cbmaj7] [Fdim/Cb] [Bb7]
Without leaving a trace
Verse
[Abm]
He jumped over the fence
And hit the ground
[Ebm/Gb]
Running as fast as he could
Without making a sound
[Abm]
His feet were flying trough dirt and mud
[Ebm/Gb]
Each step propelled by a rush of blood
[Cb] [Ebm/Bb]
And all he wanted to do
Abm Ebm/Gb Fm7(b5)
After all these years inside
[Bb7/D]
Was make it out alive

Make it out alive
[Ebm] [Ebm/Db] [Cbmaj7] [Fdim/Cb] [Bb7]
[Ebm/Bb] [Bb]
Well he's been running away
[Gb/Db]
Ever since the day
[Cbmaj7] [Fdim/Cb] [Bb7]
He dropped out of school
He never did what they
[Ebm7]
Told him he should
[Gb/Db]
He just was no good
[Cbmaj7] [Fdim/Cb] [Bb7]
At following rules
Verse
[Abm]
But he learned how to get
What he wanted alright
[Ebm/Gb]
By using a gun and a switchblade knife
[Abm]
He'd start a fight and kill on a whim
[Ebm/Gb]
And take your life like it belonged to him
[Cb] [Ebm/Bb]
And he always thought
Abm Ebm/Gb Fm7(b5)
If he ever did get caught
[Bb7/D]
He'd make it out alive
[Ebm] [Ebm/Db] [Cbmaj7] [Fdim/Cb]
[Bb7] [Ebm/Bb] [Bb]
Make it out alive
[Ebm] [Ebm/Db] [Cbmaj7] [Fdim/Cb] [Bb7]
[Ebm/Bb] [Bb] [Abm]
Oh when the cops came around
They put him under arrest
[Ebm/Gb]
But he couldn't care less
[Bb]
He didn't even blink
When they threw him
Against the wall
[Ebm/Bb]
He didn't think he did
Anything wrong at all
[Abm]
So they locked him up
And they put him away
[Ebm/Gb]
But he knew that he was
Gonna escape one day
[Bb]
And so he did
And ever since then
[Ebm/Bb]
They tried
But they never saw
His face again

[B7] [Em/B] [Em7]
Right now he's bumming around
[G/D]
In a small town
[Cmaj7] [F#dim/C]
Down in Mexico
[B7]
And every day he
[Em7] [G/D]
Tells himself he's free
[Cmaj7] [F#dim/C]
But he doesn't feel it though
[B7] [Am]
He still falls asleep
With just one eye closed
[Em/G]
Looking over his shoulder
Wherever he goes
[Am]
He's got a boat
And a house on the beach
[Em/G]
But he hasn't lived
One day in peace
[C] [Em/B] [Am]
Cause you gotta do much more
[Em/G] [F#m7]
Than just survive
[B7/D#] [Em] [Em/D]
To make it out alive
[Cmaj7] [F#dim/C] [B7] [Em/B] [B] [Em] [Em/D]
Oh make it out alive

Oh make it out alive

Oh make it out alive
[Em/D] [Cmaj7] [F#dim/C] [B7] [Em/B] [B]
Make it out, make it out, make it out alive
[Em] [Em/D] [Cmaj7] [F#dim/C]
[B7] [Em/B] [B]
make it out alive
[Repeat ad lib. and fade]
