Capo III Fret 
 
Intro 
 
(D) Couldn't tell me nothing  
Had to (G) learn it on my own  
On the (D) restless side of (Bm) seventeen  
The (Em) day that I left (A) home  
(D) Screaming down that highway  
With a (G) passion to break any (Bm) rules (Bm/A)  
I went (G) crashin' (A) at the speed of a (D) fool (G) 
 
She was (D) serving all night coffee  
at a (G) San Antonio Cafe  
(D) She was headed (Bm) nowhere  
I was (Em) goin' her (A) way  
With a (D) trusting soul and a naive heart  
There was (G) nothing I could (Bm) do (Bm/A)  
So I went (G) crashing, (A) at the speed of a (D) fool  
 
(G) You're either born for holding back  
or (D) bound for letting go  
(G) So I throw caution to the wind  
Wher(A)ever it may blow  
It's the (Bm) only way I (A) know  
I go (Em) crashing (A) at the speed of a (D) fool 
 
Solo  
 
Got a (D) hunger for that highway  
I (G) know will never end  
(D) Lord I can't help (Bm) what I'm not  
and (Em) won't change what I (A) am  
Til' that (D) roll is called up yonder  
To my (G) own self I'll be (Bm) true (Bm/A)  
And go (G) crashing (A) at the speed of a (D) fool  
 
(G) You're either born for holding back  
or (D) bound for letting go  
(G) So I throw caution to the wind  
Wher(A)ever it may blow  
It's the (Bm) only way I (A) know  
I go (Em) crashing (A) at the speed of a (D) fool 
 
I go (Em) crashing (A) at the speed of a (D) fool
