Song: You Can't Outrun 'Em
EmYou got struck with some bad lAmuck
There's a Dblack cat by your sEmide
EmAnd I'm afraid you chose the reAmd door
With the triple D6 neon sEmign
And Dwhat those witch doctors Ado to you
I wouldn't Dwant it for myAself
AfDter all that you've been thArough
DHaven't you learned anyAthing
You can't Emoutrun 'em
You can't Doutrun 'em
You can't Emoutrun 'em
They wDant your head
You can't Coutrun 'em
I Emguess two souls will meet Amagain
When the Duniverse thinks they sEmhould
EmEven if their own blAmoodlines
Don't run as Ddeep as they cEmould
And Dwhat your mama put you tAhrough
I wouldn't Dwish it on my eAnemy
DNow that I am living pAroof
That Dhistory reApeats
You can't Emoutrun 'em
You can't Doutrun 'em
You can't oEmutrun 'em
They wDant you dead
You can't Coutrun 'em 
You can't Doutrun 'em
E.....A....E.......Oh,oh,Doh
Oh,oh,oh,Emoh
Oh,oh,Dmoh
Oh,oh,oh,Coh
Oh,oh,oh,Emoh
EmYou better talk quAmickly 
'Cause my sDister at the dEmoor
'EmCause I want to know everyAmthing
DWho I am and what it's Emfor
DWhat the Lord has plaAnned for you
I Dguess that it was mAeant
DWanted to get to know yAou
DBefore you were dAead
You can't Emoutrun 'em
You can't Doutrun 'em
You can't Emoutrun 'em
I know Dyou can't
You can't Coutrun 'em
You can't Doutrun 'em
You can't Coutrun 'em
You can't Doutrun 'em
You Emcan't

Song: You Can't Outrun 'Em

Em Am

You got struck with some bad luck

D Em

There's a black cat by your side

Em Am

And I'm afraid you chose the red door

D Em

With the triple 6 neon sign

D A

And what those witch doctors do to you

D A

I wouldn't want it for myself

D A

After all that you've been through

D A

Haven't you learned anything

You can't outrun 'em

They want your head

You can't outrun 'em

Em Am

I guess two souls will meet again

D Em

When the universe thinks they should

Em Am

Even if their own bloodlines

D Em

Don't run as deep as they could

D A

And what your mama put you through

D A

I wouldn't wish it on my enemy

D A

Now that I am living proof

D A

That history repeats

You can't outrun 'em

They want you dead

You can't outrun 'em

E A E D

................Oh,oh,oh

Oh,oh,oh,oh

Oh,oh,oh

Oh,oh,oh,oh

Em Am

You better talk quickly

D Em

'Cause my sister at the door

Em Am

'Cause I want to know everything

D Em

Who I am and what it's for

D A

What the Lord has planned for you

D A

I guess that it was meant

D A

Wanted to get to know you

D A

Before you were dead

You can't outrun 'em

I know you can't

You can't outrun 'em

You can't
