FAST AS I CAN
James McMurtry

N.C.                                  A
  He was a drinking man with a guitar problem
E                             B
  Didn't have a dollar to his name
E                                      A
  He didn't seem to mind that all that often
E                           B
  He mostly took whatever came
                     A                   B
  And if it came too late, or it came to nothing
E                        A
  He'd swear beneath his breath
                   E           Esus4 E Esus4
  There's gotta be something to it
                E           Esus4    E
  There's gotta be something to it


  She lost her mind and she never missed it
  Folks all said she'd never learn
  She'd take the path of least resistance
  Right to the point of no return
  Apprehended on occasion, got off easy every time
  Said there's gotta be something to it, something to it
  Don't know why else you'd wanna, put yourself through it


Chorus
            B                  E       B                  E
  Well, the nights are gettin' colder,    restless as the wind
 B               E     A          B   A         E
  I'll be comin' over, fast as I can, fast as I can


  Well, he had some lines, but he never used them
  She didn't need much talkin' to
  And he thought he'd died and gone to Houston
  By the time the dawn burned off the dew
  And it lit right up, like Roman candles, like fire and gasoline
  And there must have been something to it, something to it
  Didn't mess around, they had to get right to it

Repeat Chorus

  So for a while they carried on like rabbits
  They''d disappear for days and nights
  You might say they learned, each other''s habits
  You might say that became their life
  And life wasn''t long, life wasn''t easy
  Life wasn''t cheap, life wasn''t fair
  And there might have been something to it, something to it

Repeat Chorus Twice
