Catch a Criminal
[Intro]
 E////  A////  E//  B//  E////
[Verse 1]
I'm going back to Colorado
With my suitcase and a gun
Gonna find me a desperate woman
And have me a little fun
[Chorus 1]
When I wCake up my Beyes are on Efire
But my Awords, they're frozen Bcold
Ain't it Ehell, these earthly desAires
Gonna Ccatch me a cBriminAalB  
Gonna Ccatch me a BcriminalE  
(Instrumental Verse)
[Verse 2]
Gonna lock you up on that mountain
But you can have your run of the town
And if you don't like the look of my gang here
Baby, turn your head around
[Chorus 2]
You know angels arrive on fire
But the devil's subliminal
Ain't it hell, these earthly desires
Gonna catch me a criminal
Gotta catch me a criminal
(Instrumental Verse)
[Verse 3]
I walk with a crack of thunder
And I kiss with a touch of cold
And the problem with living forever
You're never born, son
You're always old
[Chorus 3]
You know angels arrive on fire
But the devil's subliminal
Ain't it hell, these earthly desires
Gonna catch me a criminal
Gotta catch me a criminal
Gotta catch me a criminal
