INTRO

(E5/C Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*)x2

VERSE 1

E5/C Cadd9 Cadd9
On the lam
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
From the law
Cadd9 Cadd9
On the steps of
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
The capital
Cadd9 Cadd9
You shot a plainclothes
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Cop on the
Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
Ten o' clock

Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7 Am Esus4 Dsus2

Esus4 Am Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4
And I saw momentarily
Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4 E5/C
They flashed a photograph, It couldn't be you

Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*

Esus4 Am Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4
You'd been abused so horribly
Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4 (E5/C
But you were there in some anonymous room

Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*)x2

VERSE 2

E5/C Cadd9 Cadd9
And I recall that
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
Fall
Cadd9 Cadd9
I was working for the
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
Government
Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And in a bathroom stall
Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
Off the national mall

Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7 Am Esus4 Dsus2

Esus4 Am Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4
How we kissed so sweetly
Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4 E5/C
How could I refuse a favor or two

Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*

Esus4 Am Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4
And for a tryst in the greenery
Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4 (E5/C
I gave you documents and microfilm too

Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*)x2

CHORUS

G
And from my ten floor tenement
Am
Where once our bodies lay
C
How I longed to hear you say
Cm G
"No they'll never catch me now
Cm
No they'll never catch me
Am F
No they cannot catch me now
E F
We will escape somehow
Fm
Somehow, oh"

(E5/C Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*)x2

VERSE 3

E5/C Cadd9 Cadd9
It was late
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
One night
E5/C Cadd9 Cadd9
I was awoken by the
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
Telephone
Cadd9 Cadd9
I heard a strangled
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
Cry on the end of the line

Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7 Am Esus4 Dsus2

Esus4 Am Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4
Purloined in Petrograd
Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4 E5/C
They were suspicious of where your loyalties lay

Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*

Esus4 Am Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4
So I paid off a bureaucrat
Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4 (E5/C
To convince your captors there to secret you away

Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*)x2

CHORUS

G
And at the gate of the embassy
Am
Our hands met through the bars
C
As your whisper stilled my heart
Cm G
"No they'll never catch me now
Cm
No they'll never catch me
Am F
No they cannot catch me now
E F
We will escape somehow
Fm
Somehow, oh"

BRIDGE

C B C B G

G
And I dreamt one night
F#
You were there in form
G
Hands held high
F#
In uniform
G
Oh
F#
Oh

(E5/C Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*)x2

OUTRO

E5/C Cadd9 Cadd9
It was ten
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
Years on
E5/C Cadd9 Cadd9
When you resurfaced
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
In a motorcar
Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And with the wave of an arm
Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*
You were there and gone
