E
Last time I was sober
               D E
Man, I felt bad
E
Worst hangover that I ever had
D     E
Took six hamburgers
                    D
and scotch all night
 E
nicotine for breakfast
just to put me right

Chorus:
            C
Cos if you wanna run cool
        D
If you wanna run cool
        C               D
If you wanna run cool, you got to run
E
On heavy, heavy fuel
C          D        E
On heavy, heavy fuel

My life makes perfect sense
Lust and food and violence
Sex and money are my major kicks
Get me in a fight I like dirty tricks

Chorus

My chick loves a man who's strong
The things she'll do to turn me on
I love the babes, don't get me wrong
Hey, that's why I wrote this song

Chorus

I don't care if my liver is hanging by a thread
Don't care if my doctor says I ought to be dead
When my ugly big car won't climb this hill
I'll write a suicide note on a hundred dollar bill

Chorus:
Cause if you want to run cool
If you want to run cool
If you want to run cool, you got to run
On heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel

Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
Heavy, heavy fuel
