Biography:
Shakey Graves, aka Alejandro Rose-Garcia from Austin, Texas, plays a gnarly composite of blues and folk as a one-man-band of epic sonic proportions. The sound emitted from his hollow body guitar, mildly distorted amp and suitcase drum belie the young singer’s lean frame. He fingerpicks while keeping time with a double-pedal kick drum, hitting a snare fitted into his suitcase drum and a tambourine fashioned to its side. And when he sings, Rose-Garcia unleashes an unearthly howl.

[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
Well I might be the worst
C
But you'd know the best
C
You drive the car
C
I'll do the rest
E
The getaway was quick and clean
F Fm
We make an awful perfect team
C
You never know how fast you run
C
Until the bullet leaves the gun
E
Everybody on the floor, this is a stickup!
F Fm
Why would you sink so low just to get high?
[Chorus]
C
Oh, crime!
E
It's a young man's game
F
I want to take you where I'm going
Fm
'Cause half the fun is never knowing
C E
If and why we've lost our way
F
To find that everything in life
Fm
Is worth its price
C
But there's nothing you can't steal
[Verse 2]
C
I couldn't stop
C
I couldn't say
C
My innocence was locked away
E
It's far too late 'cause now you've seen
F Fm
All the wicked parts of me
C
The bully got the girl next door
C
I had it all and wanted more
E
So give me everything in the register!
F Fm
Why would you sink so low just to get high?
[Chorus]
C
Yeah, crime!
E
It's a young man's game
F
I want to take you where I'm going
Fm
'Cause half the fun is never knowing
C E
If and why we've lost our way
F
To find that everything in life
Fm
Is worth its price
Fm
But there's nothing you can't steal

Whoa nothing you can't steal
