Am                               C       G       Am
There i was completely wasting, out of work and down
Am                                    C         G       Am
All inside it's so frustrating as i drift from town to town
 F                          C
Feel as though nobody cares if i live or die
 F                                   E
So i might as well begin to put some action in my life

Chorus:
Am
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law

Am                             C       G      Am
So much for the golden future, I can't even start
Am                                     C     D      E
I've had every promise broken, there's anger in my heart
 F                              C
You don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue
F                                 E
If you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too

Chorus

D
You don't know what it's like

Chorus:
Am
Breaking the law, breaking the law
  F                 G
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law - x2
