  E7            F6
I let the beast in too soon,

   E7               F6
I don't know how to live without my

          E7       F6
Hands on his throat; I fight him

   E7         F6
Always and still

 E7              F6
Oh darling, it's so sweet,

             E7           F6
You think you know how crazy

      E7   F6
How crazy I am

    E7             F6
You say you don't spook easy,

          E7          F6
You won't go, but I know

      Em            Gaug   G  Em6
And I pray that you will

C           Cm
Fast as you can, baby

 G            Em6
Run free yourself of me

C         Cm   G
Fast as you can

   E7         F6
I may be soft in your palm

        E7           F6
But I'll soon grow hungry for a fight

E7         F6
And I will not let you

 E7   F6
Win...

   E7           F6
My pretty mouth will frame the

        E7           F6
Phrases that will disprove your

     E7   F6    E7  F6
Faith in man

   E7           F6
So if you catch me trying to

      E7          F6
Find my way into your heart from

  E7        F6    E7  F6
Under your skin...

C           Cm
Fast as you can, baby

G               Em6
Scratch me out, free yourself

C        Cm   G  Em6
Fast as you can

C           Cm
Fast as you can, baby

G               Em6
Scratch me out, free yourself

C        Cm   G
Fast as you can

G        F       Cmaj7
Sometimes my mind don't shake and shift

G                F       Am7
But most of the time, it does

G                 F              Am7
And I get to the place where I'm begging for a lift

        Em                      G
Or I'll drown in the wonders and the was

G                  F         Cmaj7
And I'll be your girl, if you say it's a gift

G                     F         Am7
And you give me some more of your drugs

 G                     F            Am7
Yeah, I'll be your pet, if you just tell me it's a gift

           Em              G
'Cause I'm tired of whys, choking on whys,

Gm                  Ebmaj7
Just need a little because, because,

   E7        F6
I let the beast in and then;

   E7         F6
I even tried forgiving him

    E7             F6
But it's too soon, so I'll fight

        E7            F6
Again, again, again, again, again

E7      F6
And for a little

     E7         F6
While more I'll soar the

        E7            F6
Uneven wind, complain and blame the

   E7      F6
Sterile land

    E7            F6
But if you're getting any

    E7           F6
Bright ideas, quiet dear,

     Em         Gaug    G  Em6
I'm blooming within

C           Cm
Fast as you can, baby

G              Em6
Wait watch me, I'll be out

C          Cm
Fast as I can, maybe

G           Em6
Late but at least about

C           Cm
Fast as you can, leave me

G              Em6
Let this thing run its route

C       Cm    G  Em6
Fast as you can

C       Cm    G  Em6
Fast as you can

C       Cm    G  Em6
Fast as you can

C           Cm
Fast as you can
