I Ain't Living Long Like This Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
I look for trouble and [G]I found
it son
Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun
I tried to run but I don't think I can
You make one [Gm]move and you're a dead [G]man,
friend
Ain't living [C]long like this
Ain't living [G]long like this, can I, baby?

[Verse 2]
[D]He slipped the handcuffs
on behind my back
Then left me reeling on a steel reel rack
They got 'em [C]all in the jailhouse, baby
Ain't living [G]long like this

[Verse 3]
Ain't living long like this, can I, baby?
[G]
Grew up in Houston off the wayside drives
Son of a carhop and some all night dives
Dad drove a stock car [Gm]to
an [G]early death
[Gm]All I rememb[G]er was a
drunk man's breath
Ain't living [C]long like this
Can't live at [G]all like this, can I, baby?

[Verse 4]
[D]We know the story how the
wheel goes 'round
Don't let them take you to
the man down town
Can't sleep [C]at all in a jailhouse, baby
Ain't living [G]long like this
Can't live at all like this,

[Interlude 1]
can I, baby?
[G][C][G]
[D][C]
[G]

[Verse 5]
I live with Angel, she's [G]a roadhouse
queen
Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
I want to love her but I don't know how
[Gm]I'm at the bottom in
the jail[G]house now
Ain't living [C]long like this
Ain't living [G]long like this, can I, baby?

[Verse 6]
[D]You know the story about
the jailhouse rock
Don't want to do it but just
don't get caught
They got 'em [C]all in the jailhouse, baby
Ain't living [G]long like this, no
Can't live at all like this, can I,

[Outro 1]
baby?
