Em   D   C   G (repete a musica toda) 
 
He only thought he was going for the thrill of a ride 
Wasn't in the plan to be gone for long 
But he keeps looking back over his shoulder 
He knows that something might go wrong 
The ride it ain't smooth that is for sure 
Strange mood what is the cure 
He's got that feeling of impending doom 
Like being trapped in a casket inside a tomb 
 
CHORUS: 
Death defied by will 
Like a drug that doesn't kill 
Boy you gotta learn what's true 
Death defied by will 
Like a drug that doesn't kill 
The joke is on you 
You ought to know better 
You ought to know better 
 
He is determined to outsmart this snake 
With conviction he will stand his ground 
Feeling invincible like death itself 
But his immortality won't be found 
What should he say at his own wake 
That he refuses to fulfill his fate 
He doesn't know that this is his last drive 
On the road we call alive 
 
CHORUS 
 
Bridge: 
 Am  Em 
 
Now the time has come 
You can't play around 
And you ought to know 
You ought to know better 
You ought to know better 
 
CHORUS
