SPEED OF
LIFE
Capo 1
Gmaj7 320002
Em7 020000
Intro: D-G-D-A-D-G-D-A
D G
We
drove all night to get to Corpus Christi
D G
My parents slept right
through they never missed me
Em
We were far from sleeping
G
When the truth began to
sink in
Em Em7 A
That we were going home
anytime soon
D G
The morning light came and
took us by surprise
D G
We grabbed our cloths
watched the beautiful sunrise
Em
We were one together
G
And we loved to talk
forever
Em Em7 A
And it was then and there
I realized
Verse
D G
I don’t want to wait for
one more night
D G

when it feels so right
Knees buckle white
knuckled we’re holding it on tight
G A D
G-D-A-D-G-D-A

BRIDGE:

with him last night
Gmaj7

and free
Em A
Hang on now, it’s just a
matter of time
