Start FINGERPICKING then Transition to strumming when the song picks up! 
I use a pick holder called the Pik-Tik for this.... 


G                 C  
I like fast cars, and sharp dreams  
D               G 
chased a lot of crazy things 
C                                  D 
left behind my share of broken pieces 
G                     C       D                  G 
this morning I turned 36, and you just remember half of it 
C                                      D 
you wonder how you out-lived Hank and Jesus  

          C                    D 
I put the rage in a river, the roll in a thunder 
    G                C 
but you kept me from goin' under, 
C                          D 
when that current got too heavy 
  C                       D 
I always thought I'd be a heap of metal 
       G                  C 
in a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedal 
C                                         D 
Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy 
C               Am 
Fear, I've had none 
               C 
what the hell made you want to love 
   C            D         G 
a man, who was gonna die young 

G                    C 
In the mirror, I saw my surprise 
D                    G                   C 
who knew gray hairs liked to hide, on a head 
                                  D 
that didn't think he'd live past thirty 
G               C                   D                    G 
If I make it thirty more, it's the brown that you'll be looking for 
        C                                          D 
as you run your fingers through, say 'slow down, honey'  


           C                   D 
I put the rage in a river, the roll in a thunder 
     G                C 
but you kept me from goin' under, 
C                         D 
when that current got too heavy 
  C                       D 
I always thought I'd be a heap of metal 
       G                   C 
in a cloud of smoke, foot stuck to the pedal 
C                                         D 
Sold for parts like a junkyard rusted-out Chevy 
C              Am 
Fear, I've had none 
                     C 
what the hell made you want to love 
   C            D         G 
a man, who was gonna die young 

           G            C 
Call it intuition, or call it crazy 
       D                    G 
just thought by now I'd be pushing up daisies 
       C                             D 
but I'd gladly stick around if we're together 
             G             C 
So baby when you bow your head tonight 
          D                  G 
could you tell the Lord I've changed my mind? 
      C           D               G 
And with you I'd like to live, forever
