[Verse]
Am                        F
I got home from Wichita a couple days before I thought.
G                                       Am
Didn't recognize the truck parked in my drive.
Am
My boots hit the hardwood floor,
F
busted through the bedroom door.
G                                Am
Guess I must've caught you by surprise.
Am
By the time he got his buckle on,
F
I hit the safe and grabbed my gun.
         G                               Am
You were beggin' me with tears in your eyes.
Am                           F
Screamin' "Baby, let him go! You don't want that on your soul."
  G                            Am
I said, "A man is gonna die tonight."
 
[Chorus]
Am
I'm chasin' tail lights,
               C
Straight as the crow flies.
        G                  Am
Huntin' justice down a country road.
           Am                      C
I've got a shotgun, it's ridin' shotgun,
          G                  Am
And we're both fixin' to unload.
Am                     F
Son, I know what you done.
             G                 Am
There's only one way to outrun me.
Am                   F          G            Am
You better pray your tank don't beat mine to E...

[Verse]
Am
Just blew past the county line.
     F
That needles pushin' ninety-five.
    G                             Am
I'm on you like a shadow move for move.
Am
All you see is my headlights.
F
I see the whites in your eyes.
G                              Am
That fear, mirrored in your rearview.
Am
Go ahead and ride the gas,
F
Don't think that you're livin' man,
       G                                Am
just 'cause you make it past Dead Man's Curve.
Am                        F
Man, as far as I can tell we might both end up in hell,
G                             Am
But you're sure as hell goin' first.
 
[Chorus]
Am
I'm chasin' tail lights,
                     C
Straight as the crow flies.
           G                   Am
Huntin' justice down a country road.
           Am                   C
I've got a shotgun, it's ridin' shotgun,
           G                  Am
And we're both fixin' to unload.
                      F
Son, I know what you done.
              G                Am
There's only one way to outrun me.
                      F         G                Am
You better pray your tank don't beat mine to E...
