B       E
How can I defend
C#m              A
"Let's live for now not then"
B
We're chasing tail lights
          E
Let them fade into the distance
C#m                    A
Let's say the engine stalled and start again

 B                 E
Turn around let's turn around
        C#m               A
It's a dark road we been heading down
  B                          E
Trust me tonight I swear I know where we are
            C#m
We're gonna run all the lights
             F#
We're gonna blow right through the radar

 B       E
Fast cars
       C#m      A
We are fast cars

How can I pretend
The signs don't say dead end
So many hearts just wind up in a junkyard
Where memories are nothing but spare parts

 B                E
Turn around just turn around
     C#m              A
And leave the past behind us now
           B
Come on we ain't gonna crash
             E
This time we ain't slowing down
            C#m
we'll pull ahed of the pack
       F#
Slip thru the cracks cause we are

Chorus:
 B
Fast cars
      E                  C#m
On a long ride take your foot off the brake
            A
Let's just put it in drive
        B               E
We are fast cars on the inside
        C#m
There's no turning back
        A
On the highway of life
      B   E
Fast cars
       C#m      A
We are fast cars

   B
(Sha La Sha La)
  E
Flying through the stop signs
 C#m
(Sha La Sha La)
 A
Running over bad times
   B
(Sha La Sha La)
 E
Gunning down the daylight
C#m
Counting days like white lines
 A
Holding on for our lives

        B       E     C#m A
We are fast cars ah ah ah

Chorus:
        B
We are fast cars
      E                  C#m
On a long ride take your foot off the brake
            A
Let's just put it in drive
        B               E
We are fast cars on the inside
        C#m                      A
There's no turning back on this highway tonight

   B            E
(Sha La Sha La)
 C#m            A
(Sha La Sha La)
        B       E
We are fast cars
 C#m            A
(Sha La Sha La)
        B       E
We are fast cars
       C#m      A
We are fast cars
