Intro
G F C

Verse

G
down on my check
beat on my bet
F                 C
cool and the gang play on the radio
                                F         C
celebrate good times come on

G
back on the block
picking the locks
     F                  C                           G   F   C
and I'm hitching a ride out of this no good town

G
late on my rent
and my money's all spent
        F                  C
and I'm running away where no one can find me


Chorus

Am    C                  G
and I wonder what they'd say now
F
if we got lucky babe
Am    C                  G
and I wonder what they'd say now
F
if we went all the way


Verse
G
playing the cards and losing too hard
         F
and I'm lying awake
    C                              G     F    C
and what have I got to show for it all?

G
I'm late on my rent
my money is all spent
        F               C
and I'm hitching a ride out of this no good town


then back to chorus and repeat till end.
