E7 Fdim (x4)
[Verse]
E7 Fdim
I let beast in too soon,
E7 Fdim
I don't know how to live without my
E7 Fdim
Hands on his throat; I fight him
E7 Fdim
Always and still
E7 Fdim
O darling, it's so sweet,
E7 Fdim
You think you know how crazy
E7 Fdim
How crazy I am
E7 Fdim
You say you don't spook easy,
E7 Fdim
You won't go, but I know
Em Gaug ... G Gdim
And I pray that you will
[Chorus]
C Cm
Fast as you can, baby
G Gdim
Run free yourself of me
C Cm G
Fast as you can
[Instrumental]
E7 Fdim
[Verse 2]
E7 Fdim
I may be soft in your palm
E7 Fdim
But I'll soon grow hungry for a fight
E7 Fdim
And I will not let you
E7 Fdim
Win. ...
E7 Fdim
My pretty mouth will frame the
E7 Fdim
Phrases that will disprove your
E7 Fdim ... E7 Fdim
Faith in man.
E7 Fdim
So if you catch me trying to
E7 Fdim
Find my way into your heart from
E7 Fdim ... E7 Fdim
Under your skin...
[Chorus]
C Cm
Fast as you can, baby
G Gdim
Scratch me out, free yourself
C Cm G Gdim
Fast as you can
C Cm
Fast as you can, baby
G Gdim
Scratch me out, free yourself
C Cm G
Fast as you can
[Bridge]
G F Cmaj7
Sometimes my mind don't shake and shift
G F Am7
But most of the time, it does
G F Am7
And I get to the place where I'm begging for a lift
Em G
Or I'll drown in the wonders and the was
G F Cmaj7
And I'll be your girl, if you say it's a gift
G F Am7
And you give me some more of your drugs
G F Am7
Yeah, I'll be your pet, if you just tell me it's a gift
Em G
'Cause I'm tired of whys, choking on whys,
Gm Ebmaj7
Just need a little because, because,
[Instrumental]
E7 Fdim
[Verse 3]
E7 Fdim
I let the beast in and then;
E7 Fdim
I even tried forgiving him,
E7 Fdim
But it's too soon, so I'll fight
E7 Fdim
Again, again, again, again, again.
E7 Fdim
And for a little
E7 Fdim
While more I'll soar the
E7 Fdim
Uneven wind, complain and blame the
E7 Fdim
Sterile land
E7 Fdim
But if you're getting any
E7 Fdim
Bright ideas, quiet dear,
Em Gaug ... G Gdim
I'm blooming within
[Chorus]
C Cm
Fast as you can, baby
G Gdim
Wait watch me, I'll be out
C Cm
Fast as I can, maybe
G Gdim
Late but at least about
C Cm
Fast as you can, leave me
G Gdim
Let this thing run its route
C Cm G Gdim
Fast as you can
C Cm G Gdim
Fast as you can
C Cm G Gdim
Fast as you can
C Cm
Fast as you can
[Ending]
E7 Fdim (to fade)
