A 
I'm leaning on the overpass skidmarks on the road 
E 
Things I grew up doin I never did outgrow 
A 
Middle of those runnin years she walked into my life 
             C#m                     B 
She couldn't get the devil out of me Lord knows she tried 
A                                          B 
She was right as rain she was good as gold but I wouldn't change 
A                                     B 
And now she's gone, I'm just not the same. 
     E                    F#m 
It's hard to be an outlaw out run or out draw 
    A                                  E     B 
The laws of life that you once could ignore 
       E                        F#m 
It's a desperate desperado that can't see through his sorrow 
     D                           B 
That he was runnin from or runnin for 
         A                    B 
Oh it's hard to be an outlaw When you're not wanted anymore. 
 
A  B  A  B 
 
A 
There was no where left to turn to but back to my old self 
E 
Livin like there's no tomorrow now it's somethin else 
A 
The trails I used to live to blaze are winding up dead ends. 
       C#m                               B 
With a voice inside my head reminding me what could have been 
A                                           B 
I was wild as the wind as cold as they come thinkin I was cool 
A                                 B 
Now lookin back, I'm lookin at a fool.

       E                        F#m 
It's a desperate desperado that can't see through his sorrow 
     D                           B 
That he was runnin from or runnin for 
         A                    B 
Oh it's hard to be an outlaw When you're not wanted anymore.
