  E7       F6
I let 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
O 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 Gdim
And I pray that you will
[Chorus]
C           Cm
Fast as you can, baby

Run free yourself of me

Fast as you can
[Instrumental] E7 F6 (x4) [Verse 2]
   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

  Em       Gaug ... G  Gdim
Under your skin...
[Chorus]
C           Cm
Fast as you can, baby 

G               Gdim
Scratch me out, free yourself

C        Cm   G  Gdim
Fast as you can

C           Cm
Fast as you can, baby 

G               Gdim
Scratch me out, free yourself

Fast as you can
[Bridge]
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                      Am7
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              Gaug
'Cause I'm tired of whys, choking on whys,

G                   Ebmaj7
Just need a little because, because,
[Instrumental] E7 F6 (x4) [Verse 3]
   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  Gdim
I'm blooming within
[Chorus]
C           Cm
Fast as you can, baby 

G              Gdim
Wait watch me, I'll be out

C          Cm
Fast as I can, maybe 

G           Gdim
Late but at least about

C           Cm
Fast as you can, leave me 

G              Gdim
Let this thing run its route

C       Cm    G  Gdim
Fast as you can

C       Cm    G  Gdim
Fast as you can

C       Cm    G  Gdim
Fast as you can

C           Cm  
Fast as you can
