D                       Bm
You and your element of dangerous
A                     F#m
Cheatin' death like a stranger but
D7                         D7/C
Devils got your shirt tail clutched
       Ab7         G7
In the palm of his hand
F#7
Double vodka on the rocks
             Bm
On a plastic tray
F#7  
Never fails you but it won't
                Bm             B7
Take the hours away, hey, hey, hey

  Why can't you be
E               C#m

D                             Bm
  You got some stories you're afraid to tell
A                      F#m
  Tired of living in a shotgun shell
D7                         D7/C    Ab7    G7
  Headin' west to find the edge of life itself
F#7                                             Bm
  Last I heard there were angels walking in Los Angeles
F#7
  With their hands in their pockets lookin' cool like 
Bm          B7
me, he, he, he


[Chorus]
E               C#m
  Why can't you be
E               C#m
