Song: Live Fast Die Old
INTRO- E A E A
E A F#m
I bought my soul back from the devil, and now I’m keeping it all to myself.
E A E A
E A F#m
I’m checking myself out of the program, because I know what’s best for my health.
E A E A
G A E
So why live the dream like you’re running out of sleep?
C#m C
I’m not playing to pass time, I’m playing for keeps.
Bm (E5 F#5 F#5 Eb5 x2)
We only just started and you’re throwing the fight.
G A E
You’d rather burn out than fade away?
C#m
Well why not both, I plan to stay.
C Bm ( E A E A x2)
So let’s do this once and let’s do it right.
E A F#m
I used to act like none of this mattered, I used to say that I didn’t care,
E A E A
E A F#m
that we wouldn’t be doing this forever, but the truth is that I was just scared.

G A E
So you put up a front to protect yourself,
C#m C
but if we’re down on the floor, why get back on the shelf?
Bm E5 E5 F#5 F#5 Eb5
You can’t change your outfit now the night has begun.
G A E C#m
But we’ve still got the fuel, we still have the fire, so me and you, Jay,
C Bm
let’s never retire, let’s keep on making mistakes till we’re done.
E A E A
G A
It wont last, so be bold
C#m B E
I’m going to live fast and I’m going to die old,
A C#m B
I’m going to end my days in a house with high windows on the quiet shores
in the South-West.
E5 E5 F#5 F#5 Eb5
C#m B E
So you sort the tunes and I’ll bring the beers,
A C#m B
on my seventieth birthday I’ll see you right here, and together we’ll watch the sun set.
E A F#m
Bada bada ba ,Bada bada ba ,Bada bada ba ,Bada bada ba x2
E A
There’s no one in my coffin, there’s nothing in my grave,
E A
I’m tired of being damned, I’d rather be saved,
E A
and we can never sell out because we never bought in,
E
and if they build it back up,
A
then we’ll swing through town and burn the whole thing down again.
C#m B E
I’m going to live fast and I’m going to die old,
A C#m B
I’m going to end my days in a house with high windows on the quiet shores
in the South-West.
E5 E5 F#5 F#5 Eb5
C#m B E
So you sort the tunes and I’ll bring the beers,
A C#m B
on my seventieth birthday I’ll see you right here, and together we’ll watch the sun set.
