    and she was terminally pretty.

    She held him up, and he held her for ransom

                 E               D        E    D
    in the heart of the cold, cold city.

             A
    He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude,

         E
    they said he was ruthless, they said he was crude,

             B7
    they had one thing in common, they were good in bed.

               A
    She'd say,   "Faster, faster, the lights are turnin' red!"
[Chorus]

      E            D                E       D
    Eager for action and hot for the game,

           E             D                   E     D
    the coming attraction, the drop of a name.

    They knew all the right people, they took all the right pills,

               E             D               E          D
    they threw outrageous parties, they paid heavenly bills.

               A
    There were   lines on the mirror, lines on her face,

           E
    she pretended not to notice, she was caught up in the race.

    B7
    Out every evening until it was light,

           A
    he was too tired to make it, she was too tired to fight about it.
[Chorus]
E                    D             E                        D
    Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind.

    Life in the fast lane, mm.

    Life in the fast lane, everything all the time.

E                    D              E    D
    Life in the fast lane, uh huh.

    E              D     E             D
    Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst,

        E                D                 E             D
    they didn't see the stop sign, took a turn for the worst.

             E            D          E                D
    She said, "Listen, baby, you can hear the engine ring,

               E                    D
    We've been up and down this highway,

             E              D
    haven't seen a goddamn thing."

             A
    He said,   "Call the doctor, I think I'm gonna crash.”

        E
    The doctor says he's coming, but you gotta pay him cash."

              B7
    They went rushin' down that freeway, messed around and got lost,

A
    they didn't care they were just dying to get off.
(Chorus)
