[Verse 1]

On the night of my 21st birthday, I was playing in a pub back room
A E A
When a local dude informed me of my impending doom
D A D A
Apparently I'd sullied the reputation of
A E A
The best left hook in the business, now, he's looking for my blood
[Verse 2]
A E A
There's a thug in every doorway and it's coming up to closing time
A E A
The best left hook in the business puts, his chair right next to mine
D A D A
And my heart was pushing like a funny car, just before the start of a race
A E A
This ain't no time to panic boy, you better get your head on straight
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D G D G
I left my guitar on the top of the bar, my jacket and coat on the seat
D G D G
I'm over the counter, I'm up the back stairs, they all thought I was taking a leak
A G D A G D
I fly through the air with the greatest of ease, out of the window and into the breeze
A G D G A D
I land on my feet and I'm picking up speed, and all I could think was, "You'll never catch me"
[Chorus]
G D
When you got to get away, you got to get away
G D
When you got to get away, it's true
G D
When you got to get away, got to get away
G A D
Especially if the other guy is bigger than you
[Instrumental]

[Pre-Chorus 2]
D G D G
There ain't no rhyme, there ain't no reason, just people going over the top
D G D G
The winners are losers, the losers are covered in blood and they can't get it off
A G D A G D
I fly through the air with the greatest of ease, out of the window, over the trees
A G D G A D
I land on my feet and I'm picking up speed, and all I could think was, "You'll never catch me"
[Chorus]
G D
When you got to get away, you got to get away
G D
If you got to get away, it's true
G D
If you got to get away, got to get away
G A D
Especially if the other guy is bigger than you
[Chorus]
G D
When you got to get away, you got to get away
G D
When you got to get away, it's true
G D
If you got to get away, got to get away
G A D
Especially if the other guy is bigger than you
[Outro]
G E
That was my great escape. That was my big adventure
D E
That was my brush with danger. That was my Alamo, baby
G E
I heard alarm bells ringing. I heard the fat lady singing
D
I seen the club when he came out swingin'
E
I seen his eyes when I gave him the finger
G E
Those days are over, it's been good to know ya
D E
You're just a stone age daydream
