[Verse 1]
D                         G
You did it my friend, Got away once again
           Em              A
You'll get caught, just you wait; you will see
   D                          G
It was a close call, Put your hands on the wall
 Em              A               D
    You'll get caught, wait and see

(Drum Fill)

[Pre-Chorus]

G                                                   A
Remember your life was once good the day you are losing

D                               G
The black and white angels have tar paper wings
           Em            A
You can't hide birds of prey they see every-
D                         G

Em             A                        D

[Pre-Chorus]
G                                                   D
Ignore the one who lives in your head he's ugly and cruel
     G                                                            A
You still haven't done all those things that you said you'd never do, so

[Chorus]

You better stay away from down-town

You better stay away from down-town
D                         A    G
You better stay away from down-town

G                    A        D         G
It feels so great at first To be so all alone
Em                   A               D                 G
But each time it get worse when your soul has left its home
Em                    A           D         G
