C#m

[Verse 1]
C#m
Oh he deals them off of the top, ties them off

Fills it up with his past, gets carried away

Half his life a hand me down wasted away
                                            C#m
Fills his night with the thought of a girl

C#m
Oh he left it alone, drilled the pain with money to buy

[Chorus]
E                  G#m    C#m
How he makes his getaway
 E                 G#m    E G#m
How he makes his getaway

[Instrumental]
C#m

[Verse 2]
C#m
Oh he chose a path, heavy the fall, quarter to four

Fills his nights with the love of a girl

[Chorus]
E                  G#m    C#m
How he makes his getaway
E                  G#m    C#m
How he makes his getaway
 E                 G#m    E
How he makes his getaway
G#m
Get away
