When I was young you let me drive 
                    A
Kept it under 55 
                                                 E
Back then, I couldn't reach the pedals 

A                                    D
You help me find the parachute 
                                           A
To catch the wind to slow the fall 
                                    E
Waiting for the dust to settle 

F#m                                                   D
And it's hard to hold on to the bird who flies 
                                                Bm
When you know it belongs to the skies 
A
When you have to let it go until 

A                                         E
One day, I'll hear everything you say 
                          G
I might even try your way 
                         Bm
I'm not slowing down I've found 
D
Speed feels better 
A                                              E
Faster, quicker I can get what I'm after 
                             G
I'm not afraid of disaster 
                    Bm
I like to ride the wilder side 
D                        A             Am
Speed feels better 

A                               D
Boring and a waste of time 
                                                     A
Till I take the leap you know it feels sublime 
                                              E
I get the rush then I know I'm living 

F#m                                                   D
And it's hard to hold on to the bird who flies 
                                                 Bm
When you know it belongs to the skies 
E
When you have to let it go until 

A                                        E

             G

I like to ride the wilder side 
D
Speed feels better 

A                    E
It feels better, speed feels better 
G                 D
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah... 

E7(?)
Maybe you're right 
                  A#
Maybe you know 
                 F
I'm on my own 

A                                   D
Crash and burn you rise again 
                                            A
Leave the ground to ride the wind 
                                     E
I'm gonna try if it takes forever 


A                                        E
One day, I'll hear everything you say

A                    E                         G
It feels better, speed feels better, it feels better 
D              A
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah...
