Best Of My Love - Eagles
[Intro]
[C] [F] (x2)
[Verse 1]
[C] Every night, I'm lying in bed, [F] holding you close in my dreams
[C] Thinking about all the things that we said, and [F] coming apart at the seams
[Em] We try to talk it [Dm] over, but the [Em] words come out too [F] rough
I [C] know you were trying to [Dm] give me the best of your [C] love [G]
[Verse 2]
[C] Beautiful faces, and loud empty places, [F] look at the way that we live
[C] Wasting our time on cheap talk and wine, [F] left us so little to give
That [Em] same old crowd was like a [Dm] cold dark cloud that [Em] we could never rise [F] above
But [C] here in my heart, I [Dm] give you the best of my [C] love [G]
|[Chorus]
|Oh-oh-oh oh[C]hhh, sweet darlin', [Dm] you get the best of my love
|Oh-oh-oh oh[C]hhh, sweet darlin', you get the [Dm] best of my love
[Bridge]
[Fm] I'm going back in time and it's a [C] sweet dream
It was a [Fm] quiet night and I would be all right if I could [Dm] go on [G] sleeping
[Verse 3]
But [C] every morning I wake up and worry, [F] what's gonna happen today?
[C] You see it your way, and I see it mine, but we [F] both see it slipping away
[Em] You know we always had each [Dm] other baby, [Em] I guess that wasn't [Dm]enough; [G] o-oohh
But [C] here in my heart, I [Dm] give you the best of my [C] love [G]
|[Chorus] (Repeat till fade)
|Oh-oh-oh [C] ohhhh, sweet darlin', [Dm] you get the best of my love
|Oh-oh-oh oh[C]hhh, sweet darlin', you get the [Dm] best of my love

Life In The Fast Lane - Eagles
[Intro]
[A] [G] [A] [G]
[Verse 1]
He was a hard headed [A] man, he was brutally [G] handsome, [G]
[A] and she was terminally [G] pretty. [A] [G]
[A] She held him up, and [G] he held her for [A] ransom [G]
in the heart [A] of the cold, [G] cold city. [A] [G]
He had a nasty [D] reputation as a cruel dude,
they said [A] he was ruthless, they said he was crude,
they had one [E7] thing in common, they were good in bed.
She'd say, "[D] Faster, faster, the lights are turnin' red!"
[A] Life in the fast [G] lane, surely [A] make you lose your mind. [G]
[A] [G] [A] [G]
Instrumental:
[A] - [G] (x4)
Life in the fast lane, mm.
[Verse 2]
Eager [A] for action [G] and hot for the [A] game, [G]
the [A] coming attraction, [G] the drop of a name. [A] [G]
They knew all the [A] right people, they [G] took all the right pills, [G]
they threw outrageous [A] parties, they [G] paid heavily bills. [G]
There were lines [D] on the mirror, lines on her face,
she pretended [A] not to notice, she was caught up in the race.
Out [E7] every evening until it was light,
he was too [D] tired to make it, she was too tired to fight about it.
|[Chorus]
|[A] Life in the fast [G] lane, surely [A] make you lose your mind. [G]
|[A] Life in the fast [G] lane, mm. [A] [G]
|[A] Life in the fast [G] lane, everyth[A]ing all the time [G].
|[A] Life in the fast [G] lane, uh huh. [A] [G]
Instrumental:
[E7] [G] [E7] [G] [A]
[Verse 3]
Blowin' [A] and burnin', [G] blinded by [A] thirst, [G]
they didn't [A] see the stop sign, [G] took a turn for the worst. [A] [G]
She said, "Listen, baby, [G] you can hear the engine ring, [G]
We've been up and [A] down this highway, [G]
haven't seen a [A] goddam thing." [G]
He said, [D] "Call the doctor, I think I'm gonna crash.”
The [A] doctor says he's coming, but you gotta pay him cash."
They went rushin' [E7] down that freeway, messed around and got lost,
[D] they didn't care they were just dying to get off.
|[Chorus]
|[A] Life in the fast [G] lane, surely [A] make you lose your mind. [G]
|[A] Life in the fast [G] lane, mm. [A] [G]
|[A] Life in the fast [G] lane, everyth[A]ing all the time [G].
|[A] Life in the fast [G] lane, uh huh. [A] [G]
Outro:
[A] Life in the fast lane. [G]

Take It To The Limit - Eagles
[Intro]
[G] [C] [G] [D] [C]
[Verse 1]
All [G] alone at the end of the [C] evening
and the [G] bright lights have faded to [C] blue.
I was [G] thinking 'bout a [B] woman who might have [Em] loved me,
but I never [D] knew.
[G] You know I've [D] always been a [G] dreamer (spend my life [C] runnin' round)
and it's [C] so hard to [G] change (can't seem to [C] settle down)
but the [C] dreams I've seen [Am] lately [C] keep on turnin' out
and [C] burnin' out and [D] turnin' out the [C] sa-[D]me.
|[Chorus]
|So [C] put me on a [G] highway and [C] show me a [G] sign
|and [C] take it to the [D] limit one more [G] time.
[Interlude]
[G] [C] [G] [D] [C]
[Verse 2]
You can [G] spend all your time making [C] money,
Or you can [G] spend all your love making [C] time.
If it [G] all fell to [B] pieces tom[Em]orrow
would you still be [D] mine?
[G] And when you're [D] looking for your [G] freedom (nobody [C] seems to care)
And you can't find the [G] door (can't find it [C] anywhere)
when there's [C] nothing to be[Am]lieve in [C] still you're coming back,
you're [C] running back, you're [D] coming back for [C] mo-[D]re.
|[Chorus]
|So [C] put me on a [G] highway and [C] show me a [G] sign
|and [C] take it to the [D] limit one mo[Em]re time.
|[C] Take it to the [D] limit, [C] take it to the [D] limit,
|[C] Take it to the [D] limit one more [G] time. x7
