AmI can hear the soft breathing of the gGirl that I love
AmAs she lies here beside me aEsleep with the night
AmHer hair in a fine mist fGloats on my pillow
AmReflecting the flow of the Ewinter moonlight

AmBut I've got to creep down the alley way
GFly down the highway
AmBefore they come to catch me I'll be gone
ESomewhere they can't find me

AmOh baby, you don't know what I've Gdone
AmI've committed a crime, I've broken the Elaw
AmWhile you were here sleeping and just Gdreaming of me
AmI held up and robbed a liquor sEtore

AmOh my life seems unreal, my cGrime, an illusion
AmA scene badly written in wEhich I must play
AmThough it puts me uptight to leave you, I Gknow it's not right to leave you

[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]

But I've got to creep down the alley way

Fly down the highway

Before they come to catch me I'll be gone

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]

But I've got to creep down the alley way

Fly down the highway

Before they come to catch me I'll be gone

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]

But I've got to creep down the alley way

Fly down the highway

Before they come to catch me I'll be gone

Somewhere they can't find me

[Outro]
