Standard Tuning - Capo 1
[Verse]
I was Eborn in a hurry
But there Awasn't any place to Ego
ENowhere fast seemed
Better than nowhere Bslow
I Anever really got
The hang of hanging aEround
[Bridge]
  D   AWhen you get down to it
  A   EI guess I always knew it
AWhat it is that makes my world go Bround
[Chorus]
It's a matter of Ahorsepower
For 8 seconds or Emiles per hour
That's the F#mway I am
And it's a Afact I can't Bignore
Yea, Abig four-legged fuel injected
ERunning wild radar detected
A man can always stand a little bit Bmore
HorsepoweEr
[Verse]
Well the Eview looks better
From Aahead than it looks beEhind
EI've got a need to speed
And I don't mean the drugs-store Bkind
ASome people like a life
That barely moves at Eall
[Bridge]
  D   AI say more power to them
  A   EThen I fly right through 'em
Til it Aslows down to a Bcrawl
[Chorus]
It's a matter of Ahorsepower
For 8 seconds or Emiles per hour
That's the F#mway I am
And it's a Afact I can't Bignore
Yea, Abig four-legged fuel injected
ERunning wild radar detected
A man can always stand a little bit Bmore
