[Verse 1]
I have been [G]an outlaw,
all my grownup life
Just ask my former in- laws,
just [C]ask my former [D]wife
[G]Living from a suitcase,

[Verse 2]
[G]
standing in the rain
You can keep the house baby,
[C]I will keep the [D]change
And there have been some [G]changes

[Verse 3]
I will [C]testi- fy
[D]Still it's just another chapter
[G]in my life [C]of crime
[D]In my life of [G]crime

[Verse 4]
I have held some people [G]up,
I have robbed the stage
With my trusty six- string,
[C]I have made them [D]pay
[G]They smile and give me money, they

[Verse 5]
[G]
smile and give me praise
I make out like a bandit,
and [C]then I steal a- [D]way
To a lonely [C]hideout,

[Verse 6]
[G]
that no one can [C]find
[D]Making plans for my next caper,
[G]in my life [C]of crime
In my [D]life of [G]crime[B]

[Verse 7]
I chose [Em]this life,
[Am]as much as it chose me[G][D][C][B]
I know I am [C]an outlaw, [D]But there is [Em]honor amon[D]g thieves[G]

[G]
[C]I have [D]seen my

[Verse 8]
[G]posters,
hanging [D]on the [G]wall
I have stayed just out of reach,
of the the [Em]long arm of [D]the law
[G]Of the law

[Verse 9]
of averages,
of the law of fate
I know my days are numbered,
the [C]law must be o- [D]beyed

[Verse 10]
And though I stay two [C]steps [D]ahead,
he's [G]just two steps be- [C]hind
[D]Making sure I never rest,
[G]in my life [C]of crime
[D]In my life of [G]crime
[C]Oh![D][G][C][G]
