[Verso 1]
 
      E 
Got a ticket in my pocket, 
    D                 E 
Its time is long past done, 
     E 
Keep moving forward through the cars, 
      
Till I've run them all but one, 
        E 
Well no matter how I barter, 
   A 
No matter how I plead, 
               E                 
There'll be no throwing this collector, 
              E 
If he catches me. 
 


[Refrão]
 
   Dsus2/A      A/C# 
Oh open up that gate, 
                 E 
Let this old dog run, 
    Dsus2/A             
The hounds are closing in, 
                 E   E 
Let him have his fun. 
 


[Verso 2]
 
        E 
There's headlights in my rearview mirror, 
   D            E 
No matter how I weave, 
     E 
I question how I got this far, 
     
Its Fate I do believe, 
        E 
See the Reaper swinging in the field, 
   A 
On borrowed time am I, 
     E              
As I race the omen crow, 
           E 
Across the sky.

   Dsus2/A      A/C# 
Oh open up that gate, 
                 E 
Let this old dog run, 
    Dsus2/A             
The hounds are closing in, 
                 E   E 
Let him have his fun.

[Verso 3]
 
     E 
Each night I hope to play my hand, 
  D/A          E 
I gamble for reprieve, 
    E 
Im betting with a slight of hand, 
                       B7 
Still a few cards up my sleeve, 
       E 
But no matter how I scramble, 
   A 
No matter how I pray, 
            E                   
There is no cheating when they come, 
             E 
To take you away.

Let him have his fun.
