Tom : G
G D
Em (2x)
[Verse 1]
G D Em G D Em
The engines spit out fire, I'm pushed back in my chair,
G D Em D D
the pressure gives me thrills as we climb in the air.
G D Em G D Em
And I love to watch the clouds and the mountains and the sky,
G D Em D D
swish around a cocktail the stewardess brings by.
[Chorus]
Em D
Lord, this is the life for me,
Em D
Lord, oh Lord, this is the life for me,
C G D G D Em
but I don't wanna die in an air disaster,
C G D Em
I don't wanna die on a plane.
[Verse 2]
G D Em G D Em
Well, I fishtail through the lanes, and I make my tires squeal
G D Em D D
power at my feet and glory at the wheel.
G D Em G D Em
And I wind the windows down, let the wind blow through my hair,
G D Em D D
God knows where I'm going, but me, I don't care.
[Chorus]
Em D
Lord, this is the life for me,
Em D
Lord, oh Lord, this is the life for me,
C G D G D Em
but I don't wanna die in a freeway pile-up,
C G D Em
I don't wanna die on the road
[Verse 3]
G D Em G D Em
Well, I'm young and I'm pretty, and I wanna stay that way,
G D Em D D
wanna be desirable until my dying day.
G D Em G D Em
I don't wanna be bed ridden, an old and bitter sage,
G D Em D D
have the nurses saying I'm young for my age.
C D G
("He's young for his age.")
[Chorus]
Em D
Oh Lord, don't let me go that way,
Em D
Lord, oh Lord, don't let me go that way.
C G D G D Em
No, don't make me go like a fading chorus,
C G D Em
don't make me fade like a song.
[Outro]
Em D
Lord, have mercy on your son,
Em D
Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, have mercy on me,
C G D G D Em
'cause I don't wanna die in an air disaster,
C G D G D Em
and I don't wanna die in a freeway pile-up,
C G D G D Em
and I don't wanna go like a fading chorus,
C G D G D Em
and I don't wanna die for no good reason,
C G D Em
and I just wanna go on and on.
