Tono: A
Introducción:
Am
I scored some speed in San Bernardino
So me and baby could get a little bump
Dm
Yeah, well baby?s gotta make a livin?
And I don?t mind waitin? out in the car
Am
?Cause I got some nine millimeter muscle
In case things go too far.
Em7
You know I try to take it easy man
Dm
And just go with the flow
Em7 Dm
But sometimes things can get a little bit
Am
Out of control.
verse 2
Am
Well my old man worked his whole life
In the Kaiser steel slag pit
Dm
But that was years ago man
Before they tore that Fontana plant down
Am
And my old man smoked himself
Into a six-foot hole in the ground.
Em7
And I got the same bad habit
Dm
And it?ll probably take its toll
Em7 Dm
But sometimes it?s the only thing that keeps me
Am
From goin? out of control.
verse 3
Am
Well my ex-wife?s workin? evenings
At a Sizzler makin? minimum wage
Dm
She?s livin? with the kids in a mobile home
Just off the 60 freeway
Am
Some nights I go to see her
And sometimes she lets me stay.
Em7
Since she found Jesus
Dm
She?s always tryin? to save my soul
Em7 Dm
Yeah but every now and then she still likes to get
Am
A little out of control.
verse 4
Am
I used to work a little construction
But I never got along with my boss
Dm
And I?m losin? my hair and I?m losin? my teeth
But I?m tryin? to keep my grip
Am
And live to see one more day
Without makin? any stupid slips.
Em7
You know I could have played the game man
Dm
And just done what I was told
Em7 Dm
But I guess I was born just a little bit
Am
Out of control.
verse 5
Am
When baby gets done in there I?m gonna
Take her for a little ride
Dm
?Cause baby likes to look at the shootin? stars
And make wishes as they fly by
Am
And I like lookin? down at the city
From way up there in the sky.
Em7
Then I pull baby close to me
Dm
When it starts gettin? cold
Em7 Dm
Close my eyes for a little while and let the world
Am
Spin out of control.
