              Intro: D   A   D   A 
 
          D                                   A 
I got two pins in my ankle and a busted collarbone 
        D                              A 
A steel rod in my leg, but it walks me home 
           D                                                          A 
At nine, I climbed high into the boughs of our neighborhood's tallest tree 
          C                         D 
I don't remember the fear, just the breeze 
 
  
                 E                         A 
Drive fast, fall hard, I'll keep you in my heart 
                    D                      A 
Don't worry about tomorrow, don't mind the scars 
                  E             A 
Just drive fast, fall hard 
 
 
 
       D                                                      A 
At nineteen, I was the king of the dirt down at the Remington draw 
            D                           A 
I liked the pedal and I didn't mind the wall 
           D                                 A 
'Midst the roar of the metal I never heard a sound 
                  C                                                 D 
I was looking for anything, any kind of drug to lift me up off this ground 
 
  
                 E                         A 
Drive fast, fall hard, I'll keep you in my heart 
                    D                      A 
Don't worry about tomorrow, don't mind the scars 
                  E             A 
Just drive fast, fall hard

              D                              A 
We met on the set of this B picture that she made 
              D                                A 
She liked her guys a little greasy, 'neath her pay grade 
          D                                                A 
We headed down to Baja in the desert, we made our stand of it 
         C                                               D 
Figured maybe together we could get the broken pieces to fit 
 
 
 
                 E                         A 
Drive fast, fall hard, I'll keep you in my heart 
                    D                      A 
Don't worry about tomorrow, don't mind the scars 
                      E                         A 
Just drive fast, fall hard, I'll keep you in my heart 
                    D                      A 
Don't worry about tomorrow, don't mind the scar 
                      E 
Just drive fast, fall hard 
 
  
 
Instrumental : 
D       C   G/B   D       A 
 
 
          D                                   A 
I got two pins in my ankle and a busted collarbone 
        D                              A 
A steel rod in my leg, but it walks me home
