                 E                       D
Catch me if you can, I won't be easy to find
         A                                         E
I got a woman at home that's driving me out of my mind
                 E                        D
Catch me if you can, it won't be easy to do
         A                                          E
And I'm warning you brother I won't be leaving no clues

Catch me if you can, I won't be leaving no scent
I've been running the wrong way, I think it's time that I went
Believe me, I'm a man. I'm not easy to tend
And I'm moving on out, so catch me if you can

Chorus:
        C#m7                      G#m7
There's no use bothering with the lost and found
        A                         E
Better find a shovel, cause I've gone to ground
C#m7                  G#m7
Little girl never did pay me no mind
   A                               B7
I guess I'll have to go and leave her behind, so

There's no use bothering with the lost and found
You'd better find a shovel, because I've gone to ground
Little girl never did pay me no mind
I guess I'll have to go and leave her behind, so

Chorus

Catch me if you can, I won't be leaving no scent
I've been running the wrong way, I think it's time that I went
Believe me, I'm a man. I'm not easy to tend
And I'm moving on out, so catch me if you can
