  B
Dream of a day
          A
When the songs that you play
      B                                    A
Are blasting through the speakers in your car
        B
And it comes in a flash
         A
And you hear, from the crowd
    B				  A
Screaming at your name for the encore

Chorus:
 B
Living life, life in the fast lane
 A
Not that bad, no one can complain
  B				     A
Who’s to say, that we won’t keep it real
 B
Hold on tight, don’t you dare let go
 A
Now’s the time, let the whole world know
  B					 A
You can shine bright, but still keep it real

Who could know that you'd be on the road
Selling out the tickets to your show?
When you're home, you're still the one
You were before you left to go on tour

Chorus:
Livin' life, life in the fast lane
Not that bad, no one can complain
Who's to say that we won't keep it real? Yeah
Hold on tight, don't you dare let go
Now's the time to let the whole world know
You can shine bright, but still keep it real

D       A                 E
Did you ever think your dreams
(would become a reality, whoa – oh)
D	 A		B
All you did was just believe

Livin' life, life in the fast lane
Not that bad, no one can complain
Who's to say that we won't keep it real?
Yeah

Chorus:
Livin' life, life in the fast lane
Not that bad, no one can complain
Who's to say that we won't keep it real?
Hold on tight, don't you dare let go
Now's the time to let the whole world know
You can shine bright, but still keep it real
