The Distance chords

_ _ _ _ _ Reluctantly crouched at the starting line.
Engines pumping and thumping in time.
The green light flashes, the flags go up.
Churning and burning, they yearn for the Em cup.
They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank.
F#m Fuel burning fast G on an empty tank.
Reckless and wild, they pour through the F#m turns.
Their prowess is Em potent and secretly stern.
As they speed through the finish, the flags go F#m down.
The fans get up and B they get out of town.
The arena is empty, C except for B one man F#m still driving and striving Em as fast as he can.
The sun has D gone down and the moon has come Dm up.
And Em long ago somebody left with the Bm cup.
But he's driving and C#m striving and hugging the C turns.
And thinking of E someone for whom he still B burns.
_ E He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
She's all alone, all alone in a time of need.
G Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course.
He's fighting and biting and B riding on his E horse.
He's going the B distance.
D _ G _ _ E _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ Em _ _ _ .
_ _ _ E _ _ Em No trophy, no flowers, no Am flashbulbs, no B wine.
He's haunted by something he cannot define.
Owls shaking earthquakes Am of doubt and G remorse.
F#m Assail him, impale him Em with monster truck force.
In his mind he's still driving, still making Bm the grade.
F#m She's hoping in Em time that her memories will fade.
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the F#m course.
He's fighting and biting and riding G on his horse.
The sun has D#m gone down and the moon has F come up.
And long Em ago somebody left D with the cup.
But he's E striving and driving and hugging the turns.
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns.
He's going the distance.
He's going for speed.
_ She's all alone, all alone in a time of need.
G Because he's racing and pacing F#m and plotting B the course.
G He's fighting and G#m biting and riding on his Em horse.
He's racing and Am pacing and B plotting the course.
He's E fighting and biting and riding on his Em horse.
He's going the distance.
_ He's going for speed.
He's C going the B distance.
