This is the tale of

reckless love

Living a life of
             Db
crime on the run

a brush to a gun

to paint these states green
F
  and red

    Everybody freeze

Nobody move

Put the money in the bag
           Db
or we will shoot

Empty out the vault
              Gb           F       Ebm
and me and my doll will be on our way


                          Bbm
Our paper faces flood the streets
           Gb
and if the heat comes close enough to burn
           F         F 
then we'll play with fire 'cause

Here we find our omnipotent outlaws

Fall behind the grind tonight

Left unaware that the lone store owner

Won't go down without a fight

    Where we gonna go?

He's got us pinned

Baby I'm a little scared

Now don't you quit

He's sounded the alarm
