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.

Outro:
[A] Life in the fast lane. [G]
[F] Life in the fast lane. [D] [A]
