There s not necessarily an exact way to pick out the
chords in the song; just whatever you feel sounds right.
I like to think it s something like this:
e|-------------|-------1-------|---------------|-------|
B|-----1-------|---------1---1-|-------0-------|-------|
G|-------0---0-|-----2-----2---|---------0---0-|-------|
D|---2-----2---|---3-----------|-----2-----2---|-------|
A|-3-----------|-0-------------|---2-----------|---0-2-|
E|-------------|---------------|-0-------------|-3-----|
The last thing I wanted was to end up like this
An old man running away from his kids
Tell-tale neighbors bust my block
What I feared is clear
Write me back and rescue me
Everyone has their day in jail
(strum chorus)
Hold me down around your corner
Tell me something you have won
Sign outside reads House for sale
Keeps me running down by law
(verse)
(chorus)
