RIFF A x 2

RIFF B x 2

RIFF B x 2
 Living and dying laughing and crying
 Once you have seen it you will never be the same
 Life in the fast lane is just how it seems
 Hard and it is heavy dirty and mean

RIFF C x 1

RIFF D x 2
    Motorbreath
    Its how I live my life
    I can´t take it any other way
    Motorbreath
    The sign of living fast
    It is going to take
    Your breath away

RIFF E x 2

RIFF B x 2
 Don´t stop for nothing its full speed or nothing
 I am taking down you know whatever is in my way
 Getting your kicks as you are shooting the line
 Sending the shivers up and down your spine


RIFF C x 1

RIFF D x 2
    Motorbreath
    Its how I live my life
    I can´t take it any other way
    Motorbreath
    The sign of living fast
    It is going to take
    Your breath away

RIFF E x 2

B5 B5 C5

	    (solo)
RIFF G x 1 /

RIFF B x 2
 Those people who tell you not to take chances
 They are all missing on what life is about
 You only live once so take hold of the chance
 Don´t end op like others the same song and dance

RIFF C x 1

RIFF D x 2
    Motorbreath
    Its how I live my life
    I can´t take it any other way
    Motorbreath
    The sign of living fast
    It is going to take
    Your breath away

B5 C5
