Verse 1:
D
   Last night I dreamed we was running through the outlands,
D                                            G
   Tears streaming, your pretty face all a wreck.
                         G
   (I held your daddy's gun in my tremblin' hands) 
Dsus2                                     G
   And down the highway another stranger comes, 
                                        D
   You gotta take 'em, baby, when they come.

Verse 2:
D
   Little girl, put on your best dress 
D                                        G
   'Cause we're goin' out on the town tonight,
                   G
   (Better bring along your switchblade)
Bm                                          G                        
   'Cause for sure some fool's gonna wanna fight,
                                          D
   You've got to take 'em, baby, as they come.

Take 'em as they come, girl,
                  G
Take 'em as they come, girl,
                         D
Take 'em, baby, as they come.

Verse 3:
D
   God save the rider in the black night,
D                                       G
   Save the man who taught that it was right
                      G
   (Just to do what they have done),
Bm                           G
   To become what we have become,
                                        D
   You gotta take 'em, baby, when they come.

Verse 4:
D
   Little girl, gone are the days,
D                                G
   Faded away into a clear blue night, 
                 G
   (And all the vows that we made)
Bm                                          G
   Lie shattered and broken in the morning light,
                                        D
   You gotta take 'em, baby, when they come.

Take 'em as they come, girl,
                  G
Take 'em as they come, girl,
                         D
Take 'em, baby, as they come.

   I know your heart is breaking,
Em
   I can feel it too,
G
   Though my finger on the trigger's shakin',
A
   Here I swear to you:


Verse 5:
D
   If I could take all your sorrow
                                         G
   So that you'd never cry, girl, or be blue, 
            G
   (Come tomorrow),
Bm                                    G
   That's what I'd do for you, pretty one,
                                           D
   I swear I'll take 'em, baby, when they come.

Take 'em as they come, girl,

Take 'em as they come, girl,

Take 'em, baby, as they come.
