[Verses]
D
Give me my badge and gun
              G             D
Give me the road that I may run
              D                                   A7
Give me that peaceful, wandering free I used to know
       D
I've waited all I can
              G            E7
But I'm just not a patient man
               D               D      A7      D
And I've been hiding here for seven months or so
 
 
G
Hand me down my coat and hat
     Bm
And grab the winter one at that
     G                           A7
You never know how long I'll be away
 
 
 
D
Give me my badge and gun
             G                D
Give me the songs that I once sung
                                                     A7
Give me those jet-black, kick-back, lay down nights alone
       D
This house is safe and warm
           G                 E7
But I was made to chase the storm
            D                   D      A7     D
Taking the whole world on with big ol' empty arms
 
 
G
Tell my friends I tried my best
     Bm
That one day I just up and left
       G                      A7
They probably saw it coming anyway
 
What can I say
 
Hey, hey

     G
The lock is on the cellar door
   Bm
I can't remember what it's for
    G                                    A7
I ain't been down those stairs in oh so long
         D
So, so long

D
Give me my badge and gun
            G               D
Give me the road that I must run
              D                                  A7
Give me that peaceful, wandering free I used to know
      D                          G              E7
The copy of your key is hanging where it used to be
                D            A7
Good as you've always been to me
     D              A7
The life I need to lead
     D                   A7                  D      G     D
Is somewhere out there, callin' over those hills
