Verse 1:
Am G
I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love
Am E
As she lies here beside me asleep with the night
Am G
Her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow
Am E
Reflecting the flow of the winter moonlight
Chorus:
Am
But I've got to creep down the alley way
G
Fly down the highway
Am
Before they come to catch me I'll be gone
E
Somewhere they can't find me
Verse 2:
Am G
Oh baby, you don't know what I've done
Am E
I've committed a crime, I've broken the law
Am G
While you were here sleeping and just dreaming of me
Am E
I held up and robbed a liquor store
Chorus:
Am
But I've got to creep down the alley way
G
Fly down the highway
Am
Before they come to catch me I'll be gone
E
Somewhere they can't find me
Verse 3:
Am G
Oh my life seems unreal, my crime, an illusion
Am E
A scene badly written in which I must play
Am G
Though it puts me uptight to leave you, I know it's not right to leave you
Am E
When morning is just a few hours away
Chorus:
Am
But I've got to creep down the alley way
G
Fly down the highway
Am
Before they come to catch me I'll be gone
E
Somewhere they can't find me
Outro:
Am G Am E
