[Intro 1]
[Am][C][F][F][E][Am][E]
[Am][C][F][Dm][F][E]
[Am][C][F][E][Am][E]
[Am][C][F][Dm][E]
[Am]Ah well, he had

[Verse 1]
[Am]
nothing to lose, [C]it was time to cruise
And he got [F]out of that [Dm]place[Em]
[C]He knew jus[G]t wha[Am]t to do[C]
and made every move
Without [F]leaving a [Dm]trace[E]
[Dm]He jumped

[Verse 2]
over the fence
and hit the ground
Running as [C]fast as he could
without making a sound
His [Dm]feet were flying
through dirt and mud
[C]Each step propelled by a rush of blood

[Verse 3]
And all he [F]wanted to do [C]after [Dm]all
those [C]years inside
Was [E]make it out alive,
[Am]make[C] it [F]ou[Dm]t[E]
[Am]aliv[E]e
[Am][C][F][Dm]

[Verse 4]
[E]
[Am]Well, he's been running away
[C]Ever since the day he
[F]dropped out of [Dm]school
[Em]He never did what
[Am]they told him [C]he [Am]should
[C]He just was no good at fol
[F]lowing [Dm]rules[E]
[Dm]But he l[Em]earned

[Verse 5]
[Dm]how to get
what he wanted, alright
By [C]using a gun and a [Am]switchblade [C]knife
He'd [Dm]start a fight and kill on a whim
And [C]take your life like it be[Am]longed to him

[Verse 6]
And he [F]always thought if he [Dm]ever
did [C]get caught
He'd [E]make it out alive,
[Am]oh m[C]ake [F]it[Dm] out[E]
alive
[Am][C][F][Dm]

[Verse 7]
[E]
[Am]Oh, [E]when t[Dm]he cops came around,
they put him under [C]arrest
But he couldn't care less
He didn't [Dm]even [E]blink when they
threw him against the wall
He didn't [Am]think he did
anything wrong at all

[Verse 8]
So they [Dm]locked him up and
they put him away
But he [C]knew that he was gonna
es[Am]cape [C]one day
[Dm]And so h[E]e did and ever since
then they [Am]tried

[Interlude 1]
But they never saw his face again
[E][Am]
[C][F][Dm][G][E]
[Bbm][Db][Gb][Cdim][Ebm][Fm]

[Verse 9]
Right now he's [Bbm]bumming around
[Db]In a small town down in Me[Gb]x ic[Ebm]o
[Fm]And every day [Bbm]he tel[Fm]l[Db]
[Bbm]s himself he's [Db]free
But he doesn't [Gb]feel it [Ebm]though[Fm]
[Ebm]He sti[Fm]ll falls

[Verse 10]
[Ebm]asleep with
just [Ebm]one eye closed
Looking [Bbm]over his shoulder
wherever he [Db]goes
He's [Ebm]got a boat and a
[Ebm]house on the beach
But he [Db]has n[Bbm]'t lived one
day in peace

[Verse 11]
'Cause you [Gb]gotta do [Db]much
[Ebm]more than j[Db]ust survive
[Cdim]To make [F]it out alive,[Bbm]
[Gb]oh m[Ab]ake i[F]t out alive[Bbm][Db]
[Ab]Oh, [Gb]make [Ebm]it out[F] alive,[Bbm]
[Db]oh m[Gb]ake i[F]t out alive[Bbm]
[Db]Make [Ab]it out, make it[Gb] out,
[Fm]make it out [Bbm]alive
[Db][Bbm][Gb]

[Verse 12]
[F]Make it out [Bbm]alive[Db][Gb]
Make [F]it out [Bbm]alive[Db][Gb]
Make it [Bbm]out alive
