Key: B Intro: Em D C G Em D C Verse 1: G Em Dear life, you gave me my first breath C It was the summer of '86 G C D It's been a whirlwind ever since, I've been getting by G Em Dear life, sure do keep me guessing C And I learned a lot of your lessons D Still got some unanswered questions weighing on my mind
Pre-Chorus: C Start out slow then pick up quick D Sometimes you're a friend, sometimes you're a bitch Chorus: Em D C G I'm white knuckle tight with no brake lines Em D C Rolling down a mountainside Em D C G We're running out of time on this crazy ride Em D C No one's getting out alive D Em D C G Em D C But I'm still holding on for dear life Verse 2: G Em Dear life, you had me terrified C Waiting on two pink lines D With the girl that's now my wife, and we're doing just fine G Em Then you, you took my dad's last breath C He had a lot of good living left D And you never even let me say goodbye Pre-Chorus: C I built a cradle, you dug a grave D I guess when you give, you gotta take away Chorus: Em D C G I'm white knuckle tight with no brake lines Em D C Rolling down a mountainside Em D C G We're running out of time on this crazy ride Em D C No one's getting out alive D Am But I'm still holding on for dear life Bridge: Am As long as I can C D Before it slips through my hands [Guitar Solo] Em D C G Em D C Chorus: Em D C G I'm white knuckle tight with no brake lines Em D C Rolling down a mountainside Em D C G We're running out of time on this crazy ride Em D C No one's getting out alive D But I'm still holding on Em D C And I'm still holding on, yeah D Em Still holding on for dear life Outro: D C G Em D C G Em D C G Em D C
