Intro: Bm F#m Em 
 
verse 1 
Bm 
Outrunning karma that boy 
F#m                 Em 
He's such a charmer all the 
Bm 
Bugs and their larva follow 
F#m           Em 
Him out to Colorado 
Bm 
Ten dozen hearts in a bag 
F#m            Em 
Their bodies lying he'll drag 
Bm 
Them down to Colorado 
F#m         Em 
A modern desperado 
 
Pre-Chorus 
Em                  G                 Bm 
And he'll race for miles through the night 
 Em                  G              F#m 
He runs because he knows he cannot hide 
 
Bm                 F#m 
He's never gonna make it 
         Em 
All the poor people he's forsaken 
   A      Bm           F#m               Em  A 
Karma is always gonna chase him for his lies 
Bm                   F#m 
It's just a game of waiting 
           Em                           A 
From the church steeple down to Satan karma 
Bm                 F#m             Em 
There's really no escape until he dies 
 
verse 2 
Bm 
Outgunning karma that boy 
 F#m             Em 
Can't run no further it's the 
Bm 
Last days of sparta follow 
F#m            Em 
Him down to meet Apollo 
 
Pre-Chorus 
Em                  G                 Bm 
And he'll race for miles through the night 
 Em                  G              F#m 
He runs because he knows he cannot hide 
 
Bm                 F#m 
He's never gonna make it 
         Em 
All the poor people he's forsaken 
   A      Bm           F#m               Em  A 
Karma is always gonna chase him for his lies 
Bm                   F#m 
It's just a game of waiting
