[Verse 1]
Dm
Chill out, you've earned a break
Bb
Time to start another page
F
Artists of a certain age
C
Writing ballads, eating salads

[Verse 2]
Dm
There must be something more
Bb
Who we getting mellow for?
F
Shake me if I start to snore
C
Is this why we fought a war?

[Chorus 1]
Bb          F
So long, my soul longs
C           Dm
Fast songs, joyful, joyful
Bb                 F
I wanna make some noise
              C                Dm     Bb    F    C
Wanna cause a stir, faster and louder

[Verse 3]
Dm
Chill out, turn up your nose
Bb
Mellow tracks will decompose
F
Cut 'em slow, candles lit
C
If you're hoarse, whisper it

[Verse 4]
Dm
'Stead of singing sedatives
Bb
Cut 'em like a set o' shivs
F
Sharp and pointed to the soul
C
This is why we rock and roll

[Chorus 2]
Bb          F
So long, my soul longs
C           Dm
Fast songs, joyful, joyful
Bb                F
I wanna make some noise
              C                Bb
Wanna cause a stir, faster and louder
             F
We know what we know
C         Dm
We won't take it slowly
Bb                      F
If you've been mellowed out
           C                Dm     Bb     F     C
I know the cure, faster and louder
           Dm      Bb      F       C
Faster and louder

[Bridge]
Dm                   Bb
Slower and softer it goes
F                  C
Only your lazy boy knows
Dm                           Bb
It sneaks up behind you like sin
    F                       C
The devil he just wants you chilling

[Chorus 2]
Bb          F
So long, my soul longs
C           Dm
Fast songs, joyful, joyful
Bb                F
I wanna make some noise
              C                Bb
Wanna cause a stir, faster and louder
             F
We know what we know
C         Dm
We won't take it slowly
Bb                    F
Kids, let me hear you scream
          C               Dm     Bb     F     C
If you concur, faster and louder
           Dm      Bb     F     C
Faster and louder
           N.C.
faster and louder
