I AIN'T LIVING LONG LIKE THIS CHORDS

[Intro]

[Verse]
D A                                      
  I look for trouble and I found it son
                              A            
Straight down the barrel of a law man's gun
                           A          
I tried to run but I don't think I can
                               A              
You make one move and you're a dead man friend
             D             
Ain't living long like this
           A                          
Can't live at all like this can I baby


[Chorus]
E                                         
He slipped the handcuffs on behind my back
                         E              
And left me reeling on a steel reel rack
             D                        
They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby
             A7   A        
Ain't living long like this
              A                       
Can't live at all like this can I baby


[Verse]
                           A             
Grew up in Houston off the wayside drives
A                                       
Son of a carhop and some all night dives
    A                                  
Dad drove a stock car to an early death
                     A                 
All I remember was a drunk man's breath
             D             
Ain't living long like this
           A                          
Can't live at all like this can I baby


[Chorus]
E                                           
You know the story how the wheel goes 'round
                               E           
Don't let them take you to the man downtown
      D                               
Can't sleep at all in a jailhouse baby
             A             
Ain't living long like this
           A                          
Can't live at all like this can I baby

[Verse]
                          A              
I live with angel she's a roadhouse queen
                                  A7 
Makes Texas Ruby look like Sandra Dee
A                                   A7 
I want to love her but I don't know how
A                        A7           
I'm at the bottom in the jailhouse now
             D             
Ain't living long like this
           A                          
Can't live at all like this can I baby


[Chorus]
E                                          
You know the story about the jailhouse rock
                             E               
Don't want to do it but just don't get caught
             D                        
They got 'em all in the jailhouse baby
             A             
Ain't living long like this
