| Am |
He was a h | ard-headed man, he was brutally handsome |
And she was terminally pretty
She held him up, and he held her for ransom
In the heart of the cold, cold city
| D7 |
He had a | nasty reputation as a cruel dude |
| Am |
They | said he was ruthless, they said he was crude |
| E7 |
They had | one thing in common, they were good in bed |
| D7 |
She’d say, | faster, faster, the lights are turnin’ red |
Am |
Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind |
Am |
Life in the fast lane, mmm |
Am |
Eager for action and hot for the game |
The coming attraction, the drop of a name
They knew all the right people, they took all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavenly bills
| D7 |
There were | lines on the mirror, lines on her face |
| Am |
She | pretended not to notice, she was caught up in the race |
E7 |
Out every evening, until it was light |
| D7 |
He was | too tired to make it, she was too tired to fight about it |
Am |
Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind |
Am |
Life in the fast lane, mmm |
Am |
Life in the fast lane, everything, all the time |
Am |
Life in the fast lane, uh-huh |
Am |
Blowin’ and burnin,’ blinded by thirst |
They didn’t see the stop sign, took a turn for the worse
She said, listen, baby, you can hear the engine rev
We've been up and down this highway, haven't seen a goddam thing
| D7 |
He said, | call the doctor, I think I’m gonna crash |
| Am |
The | doctor say he’s comin’, but you gotta pay him cash |
| E7 |
They went | rushin’ down that freeway, messed around and got lost |
D7 |
They didn’t care, they were just dyin’ to get off |
Am |
Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind |
Am |
Life in the fast lane, mmm |
Am |
Life in the fast lane, everything, all the time |
Am |
Life in the fast lane, uh-huh |

Life in the fast lane |
