[Intro]
G Am F x4
 
 
[Verse 1]
G Am FI'm a-running low 20 miles south of Kansas City
G Am FLiving dog-tired, weary-eyed, hiding from the law
G Am FFeeling worn down, bleeding out, Lord, I'm barely breathing
G Am FNot a second spent reading this writing on the wall
 
 
[Verse 2]
G Am N.C. FThere's a reason I carry this shotgun on my shoulder
G Am FI've been caught between aiming and holding on the reins
G Am FOh I love it and I hate it that everybody knows me
G Am FYeah, I'm terrified, sorry, and prideful of my name
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
G Am FAnd if I need a mirror, I check the posters
G Am FAnd if I need a hand, you'll never know
G Am FBut every day that long black train gets closer
G Am FMy trigger's begging, but I ain't ready to go
 
 
[Chorus]
N.C. G Am FI'm a dangerous man, a young gun, a Jesse James
G Am FFor the blood on my hands, I'm yelling, someone stop the train
G Am FI'm a slave to the cards, like Doc Henry Holliday
G Am FPraying Lord, I know only you can come and make a way
N.C.
Out of the outlaw
 
 
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
G Am FWasn't long ago I was the hero of the story
G Am FNow the villain I hated, I realize I am
G Am FOh, I swear I knew better, but somehow took the taking
G Am FNow I'm twice of the size that I was, but half the man
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
G Am FIf I need a mirror, I check the posters
G Am FIf I need a hand, you'll never know
G Am FJust call the undertaker when it's over
G Am FHe's buried men that never die a thousand times before
 
 
[Chorus]
N.C. G Am FI'm a dangerous man, a young gun, a Jesse James
G Am FFor the blood on my hands, I'm yelling, someone stop the train
G Am FI'm a slave to the cards, like Doc Henry Holliday
G Am FPraying Lord, I know only you can come and make a way
N.C.
Out of the outlaw
 
 
[Interlude]
G Am F
G Am F Out of the outlaw
G Am F
G Am F
 
 
[Bridge]
DmI've been running through worn-out country
Am GGot two warm bullets to keep me company
DmI ain't no saint, but at least I'm something
Am GJust nothing I like to be
 
 
[Chorus]
N.C. G Am FI'm a dangerous man, a young gun, a Jesse James
G Am FFor the blood on my hands, I'm yelling, someone stop the train
G Am FI'm a slave to the cards, like Doc Henry Holliday
G Am FPraying Lord, I know only you can come and make a way
N.C.
Out of the outlaw
