G Cadd9 G Cadd9


          G                       Cadd9                    G                          Cadd9
Yeah, I'd give this last wrinkled dollar in my pocket that I earned With a hammer and vice
           G                    Cadd9               G                         Cadd9
If I could undo some things and grow me some wings, fly out of this quarter tonight
        G                       Cadd9        G                            Cadd9
Yeah, tonight, every man with a TV is seeing a man with my clothes and my face
       G                                    Cadd9                   G                       Cadd9
In the last thirty minutes I've gone from a person of interest to a full-blown manhunt underway
             G                 Cadd9
I did what I did, I have no regrets
                   G                      Cadd9
When you cross the line, you get what you get


Chorus:
Am                  D           G               Em
Tonight, a bleeding memory is tomorrow's guilty vein
Am                    D                 G                           Em
Your auburn hair on a faraway sea wall, screams across the Pontchartrain
Am             D                G             Em
I'm haunted by headlights and a Crescent City breeze
C                 D            C        D               G    Cadd9
One wrong turn on Bourbon cuts like the knives of New Orleans


      G                        Cadd9                    G                      Cadd9
I'm a ghost dodging bullets in all of these alleys just looking for my getaway keys
        G                Cadd9                     G                                    Cadd9 
Wrapped up in the night, hiding out in plain sight but this grip's getting tight around me
                 G              Cadd9
Ain't no getting out that I can see
                G                       Cadd9
They'll take me dead, if they ever take me

Chorus 2:
Am                  D           G        G/F#   Em
Tonight, a bleeding memory is tomorrow's guilty vein
Am                    D                 G                    G/F#    Em
Your auburn hair on a faraway sea wall, screamin' 'cross the Pontchartrain
Am             D                G        G/F# Em
I'm haunted by headlights and a Crescent City breeze
C                 D            C        D               G    Cadd9
One wrong turn on Bourbon cuts like the knives of New Orleans

                G                    Cadd9                 
What I wouldn't do for just one more kiss
               G                              Cadd9
I'm all out of time, Honey, it's come down to this


Chorus 3:
Am                  D                   G        G/F#  Em 
I'm haunted by your hazel eyes and this Crescent City  breeze
C                 D            C        D               G 
One wrong turn on Bourbon cuts like the knives of New Orleans

             G   Cadd9
I did what I did
             G   Cadd9
I did what I did
             G   Cadd9
I did what I did
