verse 1 

G                 Cadd9 
I like fast cars and sharp dreams 
D                Em 
Chased a lot of crazy things 
Cadd9           G              D 
Left behind my share of broken pieces 
G                   Cadd9   
This morning i turned 36  
D                 Em 
You just remember half of it 
Cadd9              G                 D 
You wonder how you out lived hank or Jesus 
  



         Cadd9                G 
I put the rage in the river and the roll in the thunder 
    D                  Em 
But you kept me from going under 
Cadd9            G           D 
When that current got too heavy 
    Cadd9                 G 
I always thought I'd be a heap of metal 
    D                     Em 
In a cloud of smoke pushed up to the pedal 
Cadd9                  G                   D 
Sold for parts like a junk yard rusted out Chevy 
Cadd9             G              D               Em 
Fear I've had none what the hell made you wanna love 
Cadd9          D 
A man who was gonna die young 

verse 2 


G                   Cadd9 
In the mirror I saw my surprise 
D                        Em 
Who knew gray hairs liked to hide 
Cadd9             G                    D 
On a head didn't think he'd live past thirty 
G             Cadd9               D                     Em 
If I make it thirty more it's the brown that you'll be looking for 
Cadd9                     G                 D 
As your run your fingers through it and say slow down honey 



         Cadd9                G 
I put the rage in the river and the roll in the thunder 
    D                  Em 
But you kept me from going under 
Cadd9            G           D 
When that current got too heavy 
    Cadd9                 G 
I always thought I'd be a heap of metal 
    D                     Em 
In a cloud of smoke pushed up to the pedal 
Cadd9                  G                   D 
Sold for parts like a junk yard rusted out Chevy 
Cadd9             G              D               Em 
Fear I've had none what the hell made you wanna love 
Cadd9          D 
A man who was gonna die young 

verse 3/ Outro 

G                     Cadd9 
Call it intuition or call it crazy 
    D                    Em 
Just thought by now I'd be pushing up daisies 
Cadd9                 G             D 
But i'd gladly stick around if we're together 
G                        Cadd9 
So baby when you bow your head tonight 
D                         Em 
Could you tell the lord I've changed my mind 
        Cadd9      D 
And with you I'd Like to Live Forever 

G Cadd9 D Em G Cadd9 D
