Fast As I Can Acoustic chords by 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

N.C.                 A
 She lost her mind and she never missed it
E               B
 Folks all said she'd never learn
E                   A
 She'd take the path of least resistance
E              B
 Right to the point of no return
           A          B
 Apprehended on occasion, got off easy every time
E            A
 Said there's gotta be something to it, something to it
          E      Esus4 E Esus4
 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


N.C.                 A
 Well, he had some lines, but he never used them
E               B
 She didn't need much talkin' to
E                   A
 And he thought he'd died and gone to Houston
E              B
 By the time the dawn burned off the dew
           A          B
 And it lit right up, like Roman candles, like fire and gasoline
E            A
 And there must have been something to it, something to it
          E      Esus4 E Esus4
 Didn't mess around, they had to get right to it

Repeat Chorus

N.C.                 A
 So for a while they carried on like rabbits
E               B
 They''d disappear for days and nights
E                   A
 You might say they learned, each other''s habits
E              B
 You might say that became their life
           A          B
 And life wasn''t long, life wasn''t easy
E            A
 Life wasn''t cheap, life wasn''t fair
          E      Esus4 E Esus4
 And there might have been something to it, something to it

Repeat Chorus Twice
