E
I was born in a hurry
A E
But there wasn't any place to go
E
Nowhere fast seemed
B
Better than nowhere slow
A
I never really got
E
The hang of hanging around
[Bridge]
D A
When you get down to it
A E
I guess I always knew it
A B
What it is that makes my world go round
[Chorus]
A
It's a matter of horsepower
E
For 8 seconds or miles per hour
F#m
That's the way I am
A B
And it's a fact I can't ignore
A
Yea, big four-legged fuel injected
E
Running wild radar detected
B
A man can always stand a little bit more
E
Horsepower
[Verse]
E
Well the view looks better
A E
From ahead than it looks behind
E
I've got a need to speed
B
And I don't mean the drugs-store kind
A
Some people like a life
E
That barely moves at all
[Bridge]
D A
I say more power to them
A E
Then I fly right through 'em
A B
Til it slows down to a crawl
[Chorus]
A
It's a matter of horsepower
E
For 8 seconds or miles per hour
F#m
That's the way I am
A B
And it's a fact I can't ignore
A
Yea, big four-legged fuel injected
E
Running wild radar detected
B
A man can always stand a little bit more
E
Horsepower
[Instrumental Break]
E A B A D E
A E G D A E
[Chorus]
A
It's a matter of horsepower
E
For 8 seconds or miles per hour
F#m
That's the way I am
A B
And it's a fact I can't ignore
A
Yea, big four-legged fuel injected
E
Running wild radar detected
B
A man can always stand a little bit more
E
Horsepower
[Outro]
E A B A D E
