C#m 
I don't want to slow, slow, slow, slow down, down 
C#m 
You go for seconds and days 
            A 
 I live for moments to say 
            C#m 
 That I may never get a second chance 
       B 
 Don't throw it away 
            C#m 
 Living for dollars and dimes 
             A 
 They'll all diminish in time 
          C#m                        B 
 Let that motion come crashin like a plane from the sky 
          A 
 It was a long ride down the east coast 
      B 
 In a city you can't keep 
           C#m 
 Could you keep up on your feet? 
           A 
 And I was struck down by the west coast 
          B (once) 
 It was a quarter to three but it don't do sleep 

    C#m 
But follow the freeway 
 B 
 Break the routine 
        A                      B 
 'Cause everything is second to your dreams 
C#m 
 This is the green light 
 B 
 Take what you need 
     A                          B 
 And break out of this hospital scene 
                       C#m 
 I'm running through a stop sign 
                 B 
 Cuttin' out the brake lights 
                 A                   B 
 I don't want to slow slow slow slow down down 
                       C#m 
 I'm running through a stop sign 
              B 
 Living so it feels right 
               A                   B 
 I don't wanna slow slow slow slow down down 
                     C#m 
 Don't wanna slow it down 

B A 


                 C#m 
Thought I'd give impatience a try 
              B 
 Got a little enveloped in time 
                    C#m 
 'Cause I watch you come and watch you go 
        A 
 And it don't seem right 
            C#m 
 Living for speed limit signs 
            B 
 Ignore and cross every line 
           C#m                      A 
 Gotta let emotion take you over 20 miles at a time 

    C#m

I'm running through a stop sign 
         B 
 Got the world on my side 
    C#m                  A 
 no break lights feeling more than alive 
          C#m            B                  C#m       A 
 But it's so bright city shine on, shine on tonight, tonight
