E (X12)

[Verse 1]
E                           E5       E
Some old wise man said in a roadside bar
E                             E5          E
Son strap yourself in try and follow that star
E                    E5        E
If you break the law don't get caught
E                                  E5          E
You gotta ride that thing till the wheels fall off


[Chorus]
                     D                      A
If you're gonna stay up and do it all night long
D               A             E
Driving through life like you can't go wrong
              D                   A
Put the pedal down and don't look back
    C           G            E           E E E
The key to hard living is to do it fast


[Verse 2]
E                                 E5        E
He said life is short it's like a good cold beer
E                                E5     E
You gotta turn it up fore you're out of here, let's go


[Chorus]
                     D                      A
If you're gonna stay up and do it all night long
D               A             E
Driving through life like you can't go wrong
              D                   A
Put the pedal down and don't look back
    C           G            E
The key to hard living is to do it fast

               D             A
Take it to the limit take it one more time
D              A           E
Be the ball of fire at the finish line
              D                   A
Put the pedal down and don't look back
    C           G            E          E E E
The key to hard living is to do it fast
