Verse 1
        D       A               G
Left my favorite cassette in the escape car
Bm              A               G
I'll never hear those songs again
              D            A                   G
It made me think of all the many things I've sacrificed
Bm          A           G
Oh, Mama, where do I begin?

Pre-chorus
Bm           A      G
When I broke bad

I never knew ?bout all this trouble I would have

Chorus
D                                G
You should not romanticize this outlaw life
Bm                              D
When the scars have been shown and the tales have been told
Em       F#m       G                    A
I'm telling you ? something?s missing
D                            G
Don't make no excuse to sing the blues
Bm                              D
Calculating the cost and the things that you lost
Em      F#m        G                    A
You'll realize ? love?s gone missing
Bm ? A ? G [Hold]

Don't go drifting

I'm losing count when recalling all that I regret
Bm              A               G
How many missteps are enough?
              D            A                   G
Who of the few I call friends will be by my side
Bm          A           G
When, without recourse, life gets though?
