Lyrics

(Am)There I was com plete ly wast ing (C)out of work and down.

All in side it’s so frus trat ing as I (C)drift from town to town.

(F)Feel as though no bod y cares (C)if I live or die,

(F)so I might as well be gin to put some (Esus)ac tion in my life.

Break ing the law, break ing the law.

Break ing the law, break ing the law.

Break ing the law, break ing the law.

Break ing the law, break ing the law.

(Am)So much for the gold en fu ture (C)I can’t e ven start.

I’ve had ev ’ry prom ise brok en, there’s (C)an ger in my heart.

break ing the law.

You don’t (Dm7)know what (C)it’s (D)like.

(Am)Break ing the law, break ing the law.

(F)Break ing the law, break ing (G)the law.

(Am)Break ing the law, break ing the law.
