[Verse 1]
He was a [A]hard-headed man,
he was brutally handsome
And she was terminally pretty
[A]She held him up, and he held her for ransom
In the heart of the cold, cold city
He had a [D]nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They [A]said he was ruthless,
they said he was crude
They had [E]one thing in common
They were good in bed
She'd [D]say "Faster, faster,

[Chorus 1]
the lights are turnin' red"
[A](Life in the fast lane)
Surely make you lose your mind
(Life in the fast lane) yeah
[A][A][A][A]

[Verse 2]
[A]Eager for action and hot for the game
The coming attraction, the drop of a name
They knew [A]all the right people,
they took all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties,
they paid heavenly bills
There [D]were lines on the mirror,
lines on her face
She pre[A]tended not to notice,
she was caught up in the race
[E]Out every evening, until it was light
He was [D]too tired to make it,

[Chorus 2]
she was too tired to fight about it
[A](Life in the fast lane)
Surely make you lose your mind
(Life in the fast lane) yeah
[A](Life in the fast lane)
Everything, all the time

[Solo 1]
(Life in the fast lane) aha

[Verse 3]
[A]Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign,
took a turn for the worse
She [A]said, "Listen baby,
you can hear the engine ring"
"We've been up and down this highway,
haven't seen a goddam thing"
He [D]said, "Call the doctor,
I think I'm gonna crash"
[A]"The doctor say he's comin',
but you gotta pay him cash"
They went [E]rushin' down that freeway,
messed around and got lost
[D]They didn't care,

[Chorus 3]
they were just dyin' to get off, and it was
[A](Life in the fast lane)
Surely makes you lose your mind
(Life in the fast lane) uh-huh
[A](Life in the fast lane)
Everything, all the time

[Chorus 4]
(Life in the fast lane) uh-huh
[A](Life in the fast lan[G]e)
[F](Life in the fast lan[D]e)
[D]

[Outro 1]
