Chorus 1

Living life, life in the fast lane

Not that bad, no, we can't complain

Who's to say that we won't keep it real?

Hold on tight, don't you dare let go

Now's the time, let the whole world know

You can shine bright, but still keep it real

That you'd be  (A6) on the road

Selling  (B6) out the tickets to your show  (A minoraj7) 
B6 
And when  (B6) you're home

You're still  (A6) the one

Amaj7 
You were  (B6) before you left to go on tour  (A minoraj7)

Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

Most chord-change problems come from the strumming hand, not the fretting hand. The basic strumming course covers the patterns and timing that make any chord progression easier to play. Practice basic strumming

Even perfectly fretted chords sound wrong on an out-of-tune guitar. Get in tune in seconds, right in your browser, with the free online guitar tuner
