Fast As I Can Acoustic chords by James Mcmurtry

N.C.                                  A
  He was a drinking man with a guitar problem
E                             B
  Didn't have a dollar to his name
E                                      A
  He didn't seem to mind that all that often
E                           B
  He mostly took whatever came
                     A                   B
  And if it came too late, or it came to nothing
E                        A
  He'd swear beneath his breath
                   E           Esus4 E Esus4
  There's gotta be something to it
                E           Esus4    E
  There's gotta be something to it

N.C.                                  A
  She lost her mind and she never missed it
E                             B
  Folks all said she'd never learn
E                                      A
  She'd take the path of least resistance
E                           B
  Right to the point of no return
                     A                   B
  Apprehended on occasion, got off easy every time
E                        A
  Said there's gotta be something to it, something to it
                   E           Esus4 E Esus4
  Don't know why else you'd wanna, put yourself through it


Chorus
            B                  E       B                  E
  Well, the nights are gettin' colder,    restless as the wind
 B               E     A          B   A         E
  I'll be comin' over, fast as I can, fast as I can


N.C.                                  A
  Well, he had some lines, but he never used them
E                             B
  She didn't need much talkin' to
E                                      A
  And he thought he'd died and gone to Houston
E                           B
  By the time the dawn burned off the dew
                     A                   B
  And it lit right up, like Roman candles, like fire and gasoline
E                        A
  And there must have been something to it, something to it
                   E           Esus4 E Esus4
  Didn't mess around, they had to get right to it

Repeat Chorus

N.C.                                  A
  So for a while they carried on like rabbits
E                             B
  They''d disappear for days and nights
E                                      A
  You might say they learned, each other''s habits
E                           B
  You might say that became their life
                     A                   B
  And life wasn''t long, life wasn''t easy
E                        A
  Life wasn''t cheap, life wasn''t fair
                   E           Esus4 E Esus4
  And there might have been something to it, something to it
