Standard (EADGBE)

When I was young you let me drive

Kept it under 55

Back then, I couldn't reach the pedals

You help me find the parachute

To catch the wind to slow the fall

Waiting for the dust to settle

And it's hard to hold on to the bird who flies

When you know it belongs to the skies

When you have to let it go until

One day, I'll hear everything you say

I might even try your way

I'm not slowing down I've found

Speed feels better

Faster, quicker I can get what I'm after

I'm not afraid of disaster

I like to ride the wilder side

Speed feels better

Boring and a waste of time

Till I take the leap you know it feels sublime

I get the rush then I know I'm living

And it's hard to hold on to the bird who flies

When you know it belongs to the skies

When you have to let it go until

One day, I'll hear everything you say

I might even try your way

I'm not slowing down I've found

Speed feels better

Faster, quicker I can get what I'm after

I'm not afraid of disaster

I like to ride the wilder side

Speed feels better

It feels better, speed feels better

Yeah, yeah yeah yeah...

Maybe you're right

Maybe you know

I'm on my own

Crash and burn you rise again

Leave the ground to ride the wind

I'm gonna try if it takes forever

One day, I'll hear everything you say

I might even try your way

I'm not slowing down I've found

Speed feels better

Faster, quicker I can get what I'm after

I'm not afraid of disaster

I like to ride the wilder side

Speed feels better

It feels better, speed feels better, it feels better

Yeah, yeah yeah yeah...
