E //// A //// E // B // E ////

I'm going back to Colorado
With a suitcase and a gun

Gonna find me a desperate woman
And have me a little fun

(Chorus 1)

        C         B           E
When I wake up my eyes are on fire
       A                     B
But my words, they're frozen cold

         E                      A
Ain't it hell, these earthly desires
      C           B    A   B
Gonna catch me a criminal
      C          B         E
Gonna catch me a criminal

(instrumental verse)

Gonna lock you up on that mountain
But you can have your run of the town

And if you don't like the look of my gang here
Baby turn your head around

(Chorus 2)
You know angels arrive on fire
But the devils' subliminal

Ain't it hell, these earthly desires
Gonna catch me a criminal
Gotta catch me a criminal

(Instrumental Verse)

Kisses attract thunder
And I walk beneath a touch of gold

And the trouble with living forever
You're never born, son
You're always old
