Intro

A C G D A G x2

Verse

I play the opening D in the following style;

3 3 2 2 0 2
3 3 3 3 3 3
2 2 2 2 2 2
0 0 0 0 0 0
x x x x x x
x x x x x x

That plays periodically during the whole song. Everywhere you see D~ written below, 
where it needs to be played.

D* means play the following

2 2 0 0
3 3 3 3
2 2 2 2
0 0 0 0
x x x x
x x x x

D~ D
   Chose a life in circuses
D~ D
   Jumped into the deepest end
D* A
   Pushing himself to all extremes
   G        A
   Made it, people became his friend.
D~ D
   Now they stood and noticed him
D~ D
   Wanted to be part of it
D* A
   Pulled out some poor machinery
   G      A
   So he, worked 'til the pieces fit.

Bridge:

Following the verse, it plays through the D~ pattern described above, and then into;

5 5 3 3 2
3 3 3 3 3
2 2 2 2 2
0 0 0 0 0
x x x x x
x x x x x
                      G
The people were intrigued
                          D
His wife held back her fears
                        G
The headlines gave acclaim
                      D    A    G
He'd realized their dreams.

Chorus:
A              C            G
Faster than a bullet from a gun
       D          A    Bm   G
He is faster than everyone
A                  C             G
Quicker than the blinking of an eye
         D              A             Bm
Like a flash you could miss him going by
        D
No one knows quite how he does it but it's true they say
          A               Bm      G
He's the master of going faster.
