Lyrics and Chords
INTRO ; Emaj7 B
Emaj7 Bmaj7
Watching the white horses roll
Emaj7 Bmaj7
Watching them fall, lose control
E C#min7
See them ride
E C#min7 Bmaj7
And in the wild blue wine, unfold
B Bmaj7 B7
I want to know the speed of love
E F#
I want to fly before I burn out
E C#min7 Bmaj7
Before the songs in my head evanesce
E F# Emaj7 Bmaj7
I want to live with what I’ve lived without
Emaj7 Bmaj7
Watching the storm petrels fly
Emaj7 Bmaj7
Over the sundog, under the eventide
E C#min7 E C#min7
To be always knowing where you’re going
Bmaj7
And why
B Bmaj7 B7
I want to know the speed of love
E F#
I want to fly before I burn out
E C#min7 Bmaj7
Before the songs in my head evanesce
E F# Emaj7
I want to live with what I’ve lived without

Emaj7
Calgary beach
Bmaj7
The smell of gorse like coconut and peach
Emaj7 Bmaj7
And the world stretched out in front of me
E C#min7
I want to ride
E C#min7
And down the brine
Bmaj7
Find gold
B Bmaj7 B7
I want to know the speed of love
E F#
I want to fly before I burn out
E C#min7 Bmaj7
Before the songs in my head evanesce
E F# Emaj7 Bmaj7
I want to live with what I’ve lived without
