         MI5
He was a hard-headed man, he was brutally handsome

And she was terminally pretty

She held him up and he held her for ransom
                             
In the heart of the cold, cold city
         LA7
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
     MI5
They said he was ruthless, they said he was crude
         SI5
They had one thing in common, they were good in bed

She'd say, 
LA7
 "Faster, faster, the lights are turnin' red"
MI
(Life in the fast lane)

surely make you lose your mind

(Life in the fast lane) huh...

Are you with me so far?

MI5
Eager for action and hot for the game

The coming attraction, the drop of a name

They knew all the right people, 

they took all the right pills

They threw outrageous parties, 

they paid heavenly bills
          LA7
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
       MI5
She pretended not to notice, 

she was caught up in the race
SI5
Out every evening, until it was light
       LA7
He was too tired to make it, 

she was too tired to fight about it
MI5
(Life in the fast lane)

surely make you lose your mind

(Life in the fast lane) huh...

(Life in the fast lane) everything all the time

(Life in the fast lane) uh-huh

SI        RE        SI        LA    MI  SI5

MI

MI5
Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst

They didn't see the stop sign, 

took a turn for the worst

She said, "Listen, baby, 

you can hear the engine ring

We've been up and down this highway, 

haven't seen a goddamn thing"

He said, 
LA7
 "Call the doctor, I think I'm gonna crash
   MI5
The doctor say he's comin', 

but you gotta pay in cash"
          SI5
They went rushin' down that freeway, 

messed around and got lost
LA7
 They didn't care, 

they were just dyin' to get off and it was

MI5
(Life in the fast lane)

surely make you lose your mind

(Life in the fast lane) uh-huh

(Life in the fast lane) everything all the time

(Life in the fast lane) uh-huh
                        RE/MI        
Life in the fast lane
DO/MI                   LA/MI        MI5
 Life in the fast lane

Come Improvvisare

Chitarra Acustica

Life in the Fast Lane è un brano composto e inciso dagli Eagles, contenuto nell'album cult Hotel California pubblicato nel 1976. Quinta fatica discografica per la rock band californiana, segna l'apice del loro successo ed è il primo disco dopo la dipartita del co-fondatore Bernie Leadon, sostituito da Joe Walsh. La canzone è il terzo singolo estratto, un pezzo pop-rock che nasce da un riff di chitarra e racconta la presa di coscienza di quanto la propria vita sia arrivata al limite, e che occorre rallentare.
