[Intro]
[E] [-] [D] [E] [-] [D] [….]
[Verse]
He was a hard heade[E]headed man, he was brutall[D]brutally handsome, [D]
[E] and she was terminall[D]terminally pretty. [E] [-] [D]
[E] She held him up, and [D]he held her for ra[E]ransom [D]
in the heart [E]of the cold, col[D]cold city. [E] [-] [D]
He had a nasty re[A]reputation as a cruel dude,
they said[E]said he was ruthless, they said he was crude,
they had one thi[B7]thing in common, they were good in bed.
She'd say, "[-]"Fa[A]Faster, faster, the lights are turnin' red!"
[E] Life in the fast [D]lane, surely m[E]make you lose your mind. [D]
[E] [D] [E] [-] [D] [E] [-] [D] [(4x)]
Life in the fast lane, mm.
[Verse2]
Ea[E]ger for actio[D]n and hot for the[E] game, [D]
the com[E]ing attraction[D], the drop of a name[E]. [D]
They knew all the r[E]right people, they t[D]took all the right pills, [D]
they threw outrageo[E]outrageous parties, they p[D]paid heavily bills. [D]
There were lin[-]lines[A]es on the mirror, lines on her face,
she pretended[E]pretended not to notice, she was caught up in the race.
Ou[B7]Out every evening until it was light,
he was too ti[A]tired to make it, she was too tired to fight about it.
[Chorus]
[E] Life in the fast [D]lane, surely m[E]make you lose your mind. [D]
[E] Life in the fast [D]lane, mm. [E] [-] [D]
[E] Life in the fast[D] lane, everyth[E]ing all the time[D].
[E] Life in the fast [D]lane, uh huh. [E] [-] [D]
[B7] [-] [D] [B7] [-] [D] [-] [E] [~] [~]
[Verse3]
Blo[E]Blowin' and burnin',[D]burnin', blinded by [E]thirst, [D]
they didn'[E]t see the stop sign, t[D]ook a turn for the wors[E]t. [D]
She said, "[-]"Li[E]Listen, baby, you [D]can hear the engine ring, [D]
We've been up and dow[E]down this highway, [D]
haven't seen a [E]goddam thing." [D]
He said, [-] "[A]"Call the doctor, I think I'm gonna crash.”
The docto[E]doctor says he's coming, but you gotta pay him cash."
They went rushin' [B7]down that freeway, messed around and got lost,
[A] they didn't care they were just dying to get off.
[Chorus]
