Am
Seek him here, seek him on the highway
Never knowing when he'll appear
All await, engine's ticking over
Hear the roar as they sense the fear

  D                                      C
Wheels! A glint of steel and a flash of light
   D
Screams! From a streak of fire as he strikes

Chorus:
Am
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather

Black as night, faster than a shadow
Crimson flare from a raging sun
An exhibition, sheer precision
Yet no one knows from where he comes

Fools! Self destruct cannot take that crown
Dreams! Crash one by one to the ground

Chorus

         E         F        F#                G
There's many who tried to prove that they're faster
     G#          A             F             E
But they didn't last and they died as they tried

There's many who tried to prove that they're faster
But they didn't last and they died as they tried

Chorus - x2
