[VERSE]
  E7            F6
I let the beast in too soon,
   E7               F6
I don't know how to live without my
          E7       F6
Hands on his throat; I fight him
   E7         F6
Always and still
 E7              F6
Oh darling, it's so sweet,
             E7           F6
You think you know how crazy
      E7   F6
How crazy I am
 
    E7             F6
You say you don't spook easy,
          E7          F6
You won't go, but I know
      Em            Gaug   G  Em6
And I pray that you will
 
[CHORUS]
C           Cm
Fast as you can, baby
 G            Em6
Run free yourself of me
C         Cm   G
Fast as you can

[VERSE 2]
   E7         F6
I may be soft in your palm
        E7           F6
But I'll soon grow hungry for a fight
E7         F6
And I will not let you
 E7   F6
Win...
   E7           F6
My pretty mouth will frame the
        E7           F6
Phrases that will disprove your
     E7   F6    E7  F6
Faith in man
 
   E7           F6
So if you catch me trying to
      E7          F6
Find my way into your heart from
  E7        F6    E7  F6
Under your skin...
 
[CHORUS]

Fast as you can, baby

Scratch me out, free yourself

Fast as you can

[BRIDGE]
G        F       Cmaj7
Sometimes my mind don't shake and shift
G                F       Am7
But most of the time, it does
G                 F              Am7
And I get to the place where I'm begging for a lift
        Em                      G
Or I'll drown in the wonders and the was
 
G                  F         Cmaj7
And I'll be your girl, if you say it's a gift
G                     F         Am7
And you give me some more of your drugs
 G                     F            Am7
Yeah, I'll be your pet, if you just tell me it's a gift
           Em              G
'Cause I'm tired of whys, choking on whys,
Gm                  Ebmaj7
Just need a little because, because,

[VERSE 3]
   E7        F6
I let the beast in and then;
   E7         F6
I even tried forgiving him
    E7             F6
But it's too soon, so I'll fight
        E7            F6
Again, again, again, again, again
E7      F6
And for a little
     E7         F6
While more I'll soar the
        E7            F6
Uneven wind, complain and blame the
   E7      F6
Sterile land
    E7            F6
But if you're getting any
    E7           F6
Bright ideas, quiet dear,
     Em         Gaug    G  Em6
I'm blooming within
 
[CHORUS]
C           Cm
Fast as you can, baby
G              Em6
Wait watch me, I'll be out
C          Cm
Fast as I can, maybe
G           Em6
Late but at least about
C           Cm
Fast as you can, leave me
G              Em6
Let this thing run its route
C       Cm    G  Em6
Fast as you can
C       Cm    G  Em6
Fast as you can
C       Cm    G  Em6
Fast as you can
C           Cm
Fast as you can
