Life In The Fast Lane (Acoustic)

[Intro]
Gm Gm7 Gm Gm7
 
[Verse 1]
Gm
He was a hard-headed man
       Gm7
He was brutally handsome, and she was terminally pretty
Gm
She held him up, and he held her for ransom
Gm                        G        Gm
In the heart of the cold, cold city
         C7
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
     Gm
They said he was ruthless, they said he was crude
         D7
They had one thing in common
D7
They were good in bed, she'd say
G5      
"Faster, faster, the lights are turnin' red"
 
[Chorus]
Gm               Gm7
Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind
Gm7                          Gm
Like in the fast lane, yeah, come on
Gm                     G5   
Life in the fast lane, everything, all the time
Gm
Life in the fast lane
Gm
Are you with me so far?
 
[Verse 2]
Gm
Eager for action and hot for the game
Gm
The coming attraction, the drop of a name
Gm                                   G
They knew all the right people, they took all the right pills
G
They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavenly bills
           C
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
    G
She pretended not to notice, she was caught up in the race
D7
Out every evening, until it was light
       G   NC
She was too tired to make it, he was too tired to fight about it
 
[Chorus]
G                                  Gm
Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind
Gm
Life in the fast lane, yeah
G                         
Life in the fast lane, it's everything all the time
G
Life in the fast lane, come on

[Verse 3]
Gm                   G7
Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst
G7                                    G
They didn't see the stop sign, took a turn for the worse
G
She said, "Listen baby, you can hear the engine ring"
G                                             Gm
"We've been up and down this highway, haven't seen a goddam thing"
         C
He said, "Call the doctor, I think I'm gonna crash"
     Gm                                            G
"The doctor say he's comin', but you gotta pay him cash"
          D7
They went rushin' down that freeway, messed around and got lost
G    
They didn't care, they were just dyin' to get off, and it was
 
[Chorus]
G
Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind
G
Life in the fast lane, yeah, woah
G                    
Life in the fast lane, everything, all the time
G
Life in the fast lane
