I got half a mind to leave you
G. G. G# Am
I got half a mind to split myself in two
C. G
Oh oooh
G
I spent all my time around you
G. G. G#. Am
And now I found out that you were untrue
C. G
Oh Oooh

We were each other’s apple eyes
G
Scheming in the light and dreamin
G. Am. A#. B
In the dark and starry night

But I know it ain't right

To keep a criminal by your side
Am. D
So I guess i’m gonna have to cut you loose
G. Am. C. D
Cause you’re a loooooooser baby
G. Am. C. D
Cause you’re a loooooooser baby

You're a loooooooser baby

And when the gettin stops gettin good

I had half a mind to kiss you
G. G. G#. Am

But the tides have changed since that time
G. G. G#. Am
And now I'm in a wise woman’s world
C. G
Ooh oooh
G
Well my baby and I

Scheming in the light and dreamin

about

Bandits on the Run image

Bandits on the Run New York, New York

Bandits on the Run are your friendly neighborhood criminals, whose sole purpose is to reinvigorate the element of surprise by making musical mischief in unexpected places.

To your ears, these whimsical criminals will sound like a nostalgic medley of old and new: strummed, plucked, and bowed away on cello and guitar, and propped up on an old timey spine of three part harmony.
