On the lam
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 * E5/C * E5/C * Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 * E5/C
From the law
Cadd9 Cadd9
On the steps of
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 * E5/C * E5/C * Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 * E5/C
The capital

And I recall that
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 * E5/C * E5/C * Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 * E5/C
Fall

I was working for the
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 * E5/C * E5/C * Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 * E5/C
Government
Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And in a bathroom stall

Off the national mall

Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 * E5/C * Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 Am Esus4 Dsus2

Esus4 Am Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4
How we kissed so sweetly

How could I refuse a favor or two

Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 * E5/C * E5/C * Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 *

One night
E5/C Cadd9 Cadd9
I was awoken by the
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 * E5/C * E5/C * Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 * E5/C
Telephone
Cadd9 Cadd9
I heard a strangled
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 * E5/C * E5/C * Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 * E5/C
Cry on the end of the line

Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 * E5/C * Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 Am Esus4 Dsus2

Esus4 Am Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4
Purloined in Petrograd
Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4 E5/C
They were suspicious of where your loyalties lay

Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 * E5/C * E5/C * Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 *

No they cannot catch me now
E F
We will escape somehow
Fm
Somehow, oh"

It was ten
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 * E5/C * E5/C * Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 * E5/C
Years on
E5/C Cadd9 Cadd9
When you resurfaced
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 * E5/C * E5/C * Cmaj7 * Cmaj7 * E5/C
In a motorcar
Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And with the wave of an arm

You were there and gone
