The Chase

Gm

[Verse]
Gm                           
Mary Ann found herself in some 
    D
trouble
Gm                                
She'd never seen a man that stood 
  D
so tall
Gm
the fact he was so sizeable
      C
made him too recognizable
         Gm                D      
and that man, he wouldn't stand 
           Gm     D
for that at all

Gm

[Verse]
Gm                                
That banker never punched his 
    D
ticket early
Gm                              D
dependable to run five minutes late
Gm
today he's bound to beat the clock
     C
and that four-way stop seems safe to
 cross
     Gm              D         
if only he'd been taught to look 
        Gm      D
both ways

[Chorus]
Gm                       Bb
There is nothing you can do
      D                  Gm
I am coming straight for you

[Verse]
Gm                            
Benjamin was born to breathe in 
    D
water
Gm                         D
Every race resulted in a gold
Gm
a couple laps to start the day
    C
a trouble cramp ties up his leg
     Gm             D          
and not a soul to watch him sink 
    Gm    D
below

Gm

[Verse]
Gm                            
Grinding meat all week to get a 
     D
paycheck
Gm                             D
forty hours feels like eighty-five
Gm
Hank forgot the safety tips and that
     C
grinder, man, just grinds and rips
        Gm                 D      
and to end his shift, ol' Hank, he
         Gm    D
 took a dive

[Chorus]
Gm                        Bb
There is nothing you can do
       D                  Gm
I am coming straight for you

[Verse]
Gm                             
Wallace, though, he heeded every 
    D
story
Gm                                
knew that he was smarter than the 
  D
rest
Gm
saw the world through window blinds
       C
"I'm stayin' here, I'll be just 
fine"
 Gm                  D            
until he felt that tightness in 
  Gm         D
his chest

[Verse]
Gm                                
Death appeared before him staring 
   D
gravely
Gm                               D
sadder than his average tragic case
Gm
This one stayed inside his cage
      C
and traded happiness for age
      Gm                 D        
and Death was sad, he quite enjoys
      Gm           D
 the Chase.

[Chorus]
Gm                       Bb
There is nothing you can do
       D                 Gm
I am coming straight for you
