Chords with lyrics

Capo 3rd fret

Verse 1

G+G         Cadd9Cadd9
I like fast cars and sharp dreams
D MajorD        E minorEm
Chased a lot of crazy things
Cadd9Cadd9      G+G       D MajorD
Left behind my share of broken pieces
G+G          Cadd9Cadd9
This morning i turned 36
D MajorD         E minorEm
You just remember half of it
Cadd9Cadd9       G+G         D MajorD
You wonder how you out lived hank or Jesus

(Chorus)

     Cadd9Cadd9        G+G
I put the rage in the river and the roll in the thunder
  D MajorD         E minorEm
But you kept me from going under
Cadd9Cadd9      G+G      D MajorD
When that current got too heavy
  Cadd9Cadd9         G+G
I always thought I'd be a heap of metal
  D MajorD           E minorEm
In a cloud of smoke pushed up to the pedal
Cadd9Cadd9         G+G          D MajorD
Sold for parts like a junk yard rusted out Chevy
Cadd9Cadd9       G+G       D MajorD        E minorEm
Fear I've had none what the hell made you wanna love
Cadd9Cadd9     D MajorD
A augmentedA man who was gonna die young

Verse 2

G+G          Cadd9Cadd9
In the mirror I saw my surprise
D MajorD            E minorEm
Who knew gray hairs liked to hide
Cadd9Cadd9       G+G          D MajorD
On a head didn't think he'd live past thirty
G+G       Cadd9Cadd9        D MajorD           E minorEm
If I make it thirty more it's the brown that you'll be looking for
Cadd9Cadd9           G+G         D MajorD
As your run your fingers through it and say slow down honey

Chorus

     Cadd9Cadd9        G+G
I put the rage in the river and the roll in the thunder
  D MajorD         E minorEm
But you kept me from going under
Cadd9Cadd9      G+G      D MajorD
When that current got too heavy
  Cadd9Cadd9         G+G
I always thought I'd be a heap of metal
  D MajorD           E minorEm
In a cloud of smoke pushed up to the pedal
Cadd9Cadd9         G+G          D MajorD
Sold for parts like a junk yard rusted out Chevy
Cadd9Cadd9       G+G       D MajorD        E minorEm
Fear I've had none what the hell made you wanna love
Cadd9Cadd9     D MajorD

Verse 3/ Outro

G+G           Cadd9Cadd9
Call it intuition or call it crazy
  D MajorD          E minorEm
Just thought by now I'd be pushing up daisies
Cadd9Cadd9         G+G       D MajorD
But i'd gladly stick around if we're together
G+G            Cadd9Cadd9
So baby when you bow your head tonight
D MajorD             E minorEm
Could you tell the lord I've changed my mind
    Cadd9Cadd9   D MajorD
And with you I'd Like to Live Forever

G+G Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
