Make It Out Alive

[Verse]
 Ebm/Bb Bb     Ebm7
Ah well he had nothing to lose
       Gb/Db
It was time to cruise
          Cbmaj7      Fdim/Cb   Bb7
And he got out of that place
           Ebm7
He knew just what to do
        Gb/Db
And made every move
      Cbmaj7     Fdim/Cb   Bb7
Without leaving a trace

[Verse]
          Abm
He jumped over the fence

And hit the ground
             Ebm/Gb
Running as fast as he could

Without making a sound
    Abm
His feet were flying trough dirt and mud
   Ebm/Gb
Each step propelled by a rush of blood
           Cb        Ebm/Bb
And all he wanted to do
      Abm      Ebm/Gb          Fm7(b5)
After all these years inside
    Bb7/D
Was make it out alive

Make it out     alive

Ebm/Bb     Bb
      Well he's been running away
    Gb/Db
Ever since the day
         Cbmaj7   Fdim/Cb   Bb7
He dropped out of school

He never did what they
Ebm7
Told him he should
      Gb/Db
He just was no good

    Cbmaj7     Fdim/Cb   Bb7
At following rules

[Verse]
          Abm
But he learned how to get

What he wanted alright
     Ebm/Gb
By using a gun and a switchblade knife
      Abm
He'd start a fight and kill on a whim
   Ebm/Gb
And take your life like it belonged to him
        Cb      Ebm/Bb
And he always thought
      Abm      Ebm/Gb          Fm7(b5)
If he ever did get caught
    Bb7/D
He'd make it out alive

Ebm  Ebm/Db  Cbmaj7 Fdim/Cb

Bb7     Ebm/Bb  Bb
Make it out     alive

Ebm  Ebm/Db  Cbmaj7 Fdim/Cb Bb7
  Ebm/Bb  Bb      Abm
Oh       when the cops came around

They put him under arrest
Ebm/Gb
      But he couldn't care less
                  Bb
He didn't even blink

When they threw him

Against the wall
         Ebm/Bb
He didn't think he did

Anything wrong at all
         Abm
So they locked him up

And they put him away
      Ebm/Gb
But he knew that he was

Gonna escape one day
    Bb
And so he did

And ever since then
     Ebm/Bb
They tried

But they never saw

His face again

  Right now he's bumming around
     G/D
In a small town
         Cmaj7 F#dim/C
Down in Mexico
B7
  And every day he
    Em7                 G/D
Tells himself he's free
               Cmaj7   F#dim/C
But he doesn't feel it though
B7         Am
  He still falls asleep

With just one eye closed
        Em/G
Looking over his shoulder

Wherever he goes
      Am
He's got a boat

And a house on the beach
       Em/G
But he hasn't lived

One day in peace
           C     Em/B      Am
Cause you gotta do much more
        Em/G      F#m7
Than just survive
   B7/D#              Em  Em/D
To make it out alive
Cmaj7 F#dim/C    B7  Em/B B       Em  Em/D
Oh           make it out  alive
Cmaj7 F#dim/C    B7  Em/B B       Em  Em/D
Oh           make it out  alive

Oh           make it out  alive
