VERSE 1
E5/C Cadd9 Cadd9
On the lam
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
Cadd9 Cadd9
On the steps of
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
The capital
Cadd9 Cadd9
You shot a plainclothes
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Cop on the
Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
Ten o' clock
Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7 Am Esus4 Dsus2
Esus4 Am Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4
And I saw momentarily
Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4 E5/C
They flashed a photograph, It couldn't be you
Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*
Esus4 Am Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4
You'd been abused so horribly
Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4 (E5/C
But you were there in some anonymous room
Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*)x2
VERSE 2
E5/C Cadd9 Cadd9
And I recall that
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
Fall
Cadd9 Cadd9
I was working for the
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
Government
Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And in a bathroom stall
Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
Off the national mall
Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7 Am Esus4 Dsus2
Esus4 Am Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4
How we kissed so sweetly
Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4 E5/C
How could I refuse a favor or two
Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*
Esus4 Am Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4
And for a tryst in the greenery
Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4 (E5/C
I gave you documents and microfilm too
Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*)x2
CHORUS
G
And from my ten floor tenement
Am
Where once our bodies lay
C
How I longed to hear you say
Cm G
"No they'll never catch me now
Cm
No they'll never catch me
Am F
No they cannot catch me now
E F
We will escape somehow
Fm
Somehow, oh"

VERSE 3
E5/C Cadd9 Cadd9
It was late
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
One night
E5/C Cadd9 Cadd9
I was awoken by the
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
Telephone
Cadd9 Cadd9
I heard a strangled
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
Cry on the end of the line
Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7 Am Esus4 Dsus2
Esus4 Am Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4
Purloined in Petrograd
Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4 E5/C
They were suspicious of where your loyalties lay
Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*
Esus4 Am Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4
So I paid off a bureaucrat
Esus4 Am Esus4 Dsus2 Am Esus4 (E5/C
To convince your captors there to secret you away
Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*)x2
CHORUS
G
And at the gate of the embassy
Am
Our hands met through the bars
C
As your whisper stilled my heart
Cm G
"No they'll never catch me now
Cm
No they'll never catch me
Am F
No they cannot catch me now
E F
We will escape somehow
Fm
Somehow, oh"
BRIDGE

You were there in form

Hands held high

In uniform
G
Oh
F#
Oh
(E5/C Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*)x2
OUTRO
E5/C Cadd9 Cadd9
It was ten
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
Years on
E5/C Cadd9 Cadd9
When you resurfaced
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C
In a motorcar
Cadd9 Cadd9 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And with the wave of an arm
Cmaj7* Cmaj7* E5/C* E5/C* Cmaj7* Cmaj7*
You were there and gone
