VERSE 1:
A G
I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love,
Am E
As she lies here beside me asleep with the night.
A G
Her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow,
Am D/F# E7
Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight.
CHORUS
C Am
But I've got to creep down the alleyway,
G
Fly down the highway,
Am C Am F E9
Before they come to catch me I'll be gone.
G Am Am/G F E Am Am/G F E
Somewhere they can't find me.
VERSE 2:
Oh baby, you don't know what I've done,
I've committed a crime, I've broken the law.
While you were here sleeping and just dreaming of me,
I held up and robbed a liquor store.
CHORUS
VERSE 3:
Oh my life seems unreal, my crime an illusion,
A scene badly written in which I must play.
And though it puts me uptight to leave you,
I know it's not right to leave you,
When morning is just a few hours away.
CHORUS
OUTRO:
Am Am/G F E
Am Am/G F E (repeat and fade)
