Verse 1:
D
Last night I dreamed we was running through the outlands,
D G
Tears streaming, your pretty face all a wreck.
G
(I held your daddy's gun in my tremblin' hands)

And down the highway another stranger comes,
D
You gotta take 'em, baby, when they come.

Little girl, put on your best dress
D G
'Cause we're goin' out on the town tonight,
G
(Better bring along your switchblade)

'Cause for sure some fool's gonna wanna fight,

You've got to take 'em, baby, as they come.

God save the rider in the black night,
D G
Save the man who taught that it was right

To become what we have become,

You gotta take 'em, baby, when they come.

Verse 4:
D
Little girl, gone are the days,
D G
Faded away into a clear blue night,
G
(And all the vows that we made)
Bm G
Lie shattered and broken in the morning light,
D
You gotta take 'em, baby, when they come.

I know your heart is breaking,
Em
I can feel it too,
G
Though my finger on the trigger's shakin',
A
Here I swear to you:
Verse 5:
D
If I could take all your sorrow
G
So that you'd never cry, girl, or be blue,
G
(Come tomorrow),
Bm G
That's what I'd do for you, pretty one,
D
I swear I'll take 'em, baby, when they come.
