Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
A7A7                                         D/ED/E
   Did I just hear an alarm start ringing?
A7A7                                  D/ED/E
   Did I see sirens go flying past?
A7A7                              A7/C#    D MajorD
   Though I don't know what tomorrow's bringing
D#m7b5D#m7b5       E7sus                                        D/ED/E A7/E

Verse 2:
A7A7          D MajorD           D/ED/E   A7A7    D MajorD    D/ED/E
   I'm gliding smooth as a figure skater
A7A7         D MajorD        D/ED/E  C/GC/G  G6G6 Bb/FBb/F D/ED/E
   I'm riding hot as a rocket blast
A7A7         D MajorD       D/ED/E   A7A7   A7/C# D MajorD
   I just expected it ten years later
    D#m7b5D#m7b5   E7sus                                    A7A7
I've got a singular impression things are moving too fast

              D7D7
And you say, "Oh, no, Step on the brakes
                                      A7A7
Do whatever it takes, But stop this train
 D7D7                                A augmentedA+
Slow, slow! The light's turing red"

            E7E7         A2/C#  E7/BE7/B
But I say, "No! No! Whatever I do
   A9A9
I barrel on through And I don't complain
    B7B7           B7sus
No matter what I try
     B7B7    E7(#9)
I'm flying full speed ahead"

A7A7         D MajorD      D/ED/E     C/GC/G   G6G6     Bb/FBb/F D/ED/E
   I won't do anything just "half-assed"
A7A7           D MajorD            D/ED/E     A7A7  A7/C#  D MajorD
   But with the stakes getting somewhat higher
    D#m7b5D#m7b5   E7sus                                     A7A7  D MajorD  D/ED/E
