[Verse 1]
A7 D/E
Did I just hear an alarm start ringing?
A7 D/E
Did I see sirens go flying past?
A7 A7/C# D
Though I don't know what tomorrow's bringing
D#m7b5 E7sus D/E A7/E
I've got a singular impression things are moving too fast
[Verse 2]
A7 D D/E A7 D D/E
I'm gliding smooth as a figure skater
A7 D D/E C/G G6 Bb/F D/E
I'm riding hot as a rocket blast
A7 D D/E A7 A7/C# D
I just expected it ten years later
D#m7b5 E7sus A7
I've got a singular impression things are moving too fast
D7
And you say, "Oh, no, Step on the brakes
A7
Do whatever it takes, But stop this train
D7 A+
Slow, slow! The light's turing red"
E7 A2/C# E7/B
But I say, "No! No! Whatever I do
A9
I barrel on through And I don't complain
B7 B7sus
No matter what I try
B7 E7(#9)
I'm flying full speed ahead"
[Verse 4]
A7 D D/E A D D/E
I'm never worried to walk the wire
A7 D D/E C/G G6 Bb/F D/E
I won't do anything just "half-assed"
A7 D D/E A7 A7/C# D
But with the stakes getting somewhat higher
D#m7b5 E7sus A7 D D/E
I've got a singular impression... things are moving too fast
[Break]
A7 A7 D D/E
I found a woman I love
A7 A7 D# Dmin/E
And I found an agent who loves me
A7
Things might get bumpy but
F Bb/F
Some people analyze every detail
F Bb/F
Some people stall when they can't see the trail
Gm7 F/A Emin7 A13
Some people freeze out of fear that they'll fail
Dmin Bb/C Eb/F Bb/F F
But I keep rollin' on
Eb/F Bb/F F Bb/F
Some people can't find success with their art
F Bb/F
Some people never feel love in their heart
Gmin7 F/A Emin7 A13
Some people can't tell the two things apart
Dm9 Db+9 Bbmaj7/C Bb/C Fsus
But I keep roll - in' on
Eb/F Bb/F Eb/F Bb/F
Oh...oh - maybe I can't follow through
Eb/F Bb/F Gmin7 F/A Bb2/C
But Oh...oh - what else am I supposed to do?
[Verse 5]
A
I dreamed of writing like the high and mighty
A
Now I'm the subject of a bidding war
A7

The Atlantic Monthly's printing my first chapter

Two thousand bucks without rewriting one word

I left Columbia and I don't regret it
Db7
I wrote a book and Sonny Mehta read it
D7
My heart's been stolen
Eb7
My ego's swollen
E7 D7 A7 D7 A7
I just keep rollin' along...
E7 E7/D A2/C# E7/B
And I think well, well, what else is in store?
A7
Got all this and more before twenty-four
B7 B7sus
It's hard not to be sure
B7 E7(#9)
I'm spinning out of control
F7
Out of control...
[Verse 6]
