Verse 1:
    G+G     G7G7       C majorC
Well alright, so long, my better days have come and gone
        D MajorD
You see I was a mess y’all, about as bad as they come
     G+G
And I was walking through the valley of wrong
      G+G       G7G7  C majorC
Yeah, so I drink and get high, cussing at the clear blue sky
        D7D7
When I finally found her, tall drink of water
 G+G                   G/BG/B G/Bb
Standing by the motel sign and she said
D MajorD        D7D7
“Hey there Mister, so nice to see you
G+G               G/BG/B G/Bb
 I heard you’ve broken the law
D MajorD                     D7D7
Now we can’t be too loud and you better be quick now
      G+G           G7G7
Just because I got a line down the hall”
   C majorC   D7D7     G+G
Oh
Lyra
Lyra, you’re pushing me against the wall
           C majorC
Yeah, she said “Your time is up and I’ve had enough
  D7D7
Now get your skinny ass on the floor”


Chorus:
     G+G    C majorC
So if you see me tonight
D7D7             G+G
They’ve caught a man on the run
         C majorC
His undercover surprise
D7D7          G+G     G7G7
 The darling deputy’s gun (Give you)
         C majorC     D7D7
Oh, whatever you want (Give you)
           G+G
Give you whatever you need (Long as)
            C majorC     D7D7
Long as you throw me a line (Fill me)
           G+G    G7G7
Fill me your vacancy please, ooh

Verse 2:
     G+G        G7G7  C majorC
Now that sweet old, dixie line, how many times have I known
D7D7
You see she used to carry me all the way across the great state of Tennessee
     G+G
Until the very day y’all, she just couldn’t no more
     G+G    G7G7      C majorC
Yeah so I crawl
I drive late December through to mid July
N.C.      D MajorD            D7D7
Where the interstate was murder, but her eyes were killer
     G+G                    G/BG/B G/Bb
And I was looking for a place to die when she says
D MajorD                 D7D7
“Hi there sweetheart, since you’ve come so far
G+G                 G/BG/B G/Bb
Why don’t you stay here for a while
D MajorD                D7D7
Now I don’t bite none, and I’ll fix you up hon
     G+G             G7G7
I bet you heard me through the radio dial"
   C majorC    D7D7   G+G
Oh Lyra, well Lyra
I never mean to let you down
         C majorC
Yeah I’m about to climb upstairs and climb into bed
    D MajorD
Just to show you I ain’t messing around


Chorus:
     G+G    C majorC
So if you see me tonight
D7D7             G+G
They’ve caught a man on the run
         C majorC
His undercover surprise
D7D7          G+G     G7G7
 The darling deputy’s gun (Give you)
           C majorC     D7D7
Give you whatever you want (Give you)
           G+G
Give you whatever you need (Long as)
            C majorC     D7D7
Long as you throw me a line (Fill me)
           G+G    G7G7
Fill me your vacancy please, ooh
