Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C5]Well, you[G][C5][Bb][C][C5][C][G][C][C5]
[C]thi[Bb]nk yo[C5]u're sitting pretty
[C]But you're sit[Eb]ting on [Bb]a powder [C5]keg.
Well, you think you're standing steady
[C]But you're [Eb]weak as
[Bb]a matchstick [C5]leg.
Well, there's a rumble in the city,
[C]There's [Eb]a call out for your [C]head.[C5]
Now isn't it a pity
Your fu[Eb]ture's just [Bb]a lump of [C5]lead.[C]
[C5]But now

[Verse 2]
[G]you're running scared,
you've got no place to run;
You're caught between the law and the Big Guns.
[C5][C]

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][C5][C][Bb][C][C5][C][G][C5][G][Bb]

[Verse 3]
Well, it's [C5]a long way from
the pool [C]hall[C5]s,
[C]Through [Eb]the rackets and
[Bb]the petty [C5]crime.
Well, you thought you [C]were a tough one
But you've [Eb]bitten off too
[Bb]much this [C5]time.
You've stepped [C]on the wrong [C5]toes,
[C]Now [Eb]look who you've upset.
[C5]You walked on the wrong toes,
You've [C]got your [Eb]picture on
the po[Bb]lice gazette.

[Verse 4]
[C5]Well[C], now [G]you're running scared,
you've got no place to run;
Yor're caught between the law and the Big Gun[C]s.

[Interlude 2]
[C5][G][C][C5][C][Bb][C][Bb]
[C][Eb][C]
[Eb][Bb][C][Eb][Bb][C5][C]
[Eb][Bb][C][Eb][Bb][C][C5][C]
[Eb][Bb][C][G][F]

[Verse 5]
[F]Your backis against a wall,
[G]you don't like it [F]there at all.
Now you!re too proud to fall,
you got no friends you can call.

[Verse 6]
Well, [C5]you never felt [C]so [C5]gritty,
[C]The [Eb]sweat's pouring down[Bb]
your back[C].
You're like a tiger [C5]in t[C]he jungle
And [Eb]you can't find [Bb]your way [C]back[C5].
You hadn't [C]played your cards right,
You [Eb]hadn't seen [Bb]the signs,[C]
Well, you tried to run the whole game,
Now you've [Eb]come to the [Bb]end of [C]the line.

[Verse 7]
Well, [G]now you're running scared,
you've got no place to run;
Now you're face to face with the Big Gun[C]s.

[Outro 1]
