[G] [N] Reluctantly crouched at the starting [E] line, Asians pumping and thumping in time,
The green light flashes, the flags go up, Churning and burning, they yearn for the [G] cup,
They duck, they maneuver, and muscle for [F#m] rank, Fuel burning [Em] fast on an empty tank,
Reckless and wild, they pour [Bm] through the [A] turns, Their prowess is potent, [Em] and secretly stern,
As they speed through the finish, the flags [Bm] go down, [D] The fans [Em] get up, and they get out of town,
The arena is empty, [Bm] except for one [A] man still thriving, [Em] Ascribing as fast as he can,
The sun has gone [F#] down, and the [A#] moon has come up, And [Em] long ago somebody left [Bm] with the cup,
But he's [E] thriving and striving, and hugging the turns, [C] And thinking [E] of someone for who [Bm] he still [D] learns,
[E] He's going the distance, he's going for speed, She's all alone, all alone in a time of need,
[Em] You can't see, but racing [Bm] and pacing, and plodding the course, [Em] He's fighting and biding, [E] and riding on his [G] horse,
He's [Bm] going the distance, [Em] alright, hey!
[E]
[Em]
[E] [Em] No trophy, no flowers, no flashballs, [Bm] no wine, He's haunted by [Em] something he cannot define,
Bowels shaking, earthquakes of doubt and [A] remorse, Assail him, [Em] impair him, with massive drug force,
In his mind he's surviving, still making the grade, [F#m] She's [E] hoping in time [Em] that her memories will fade,
You can't see, but racing and pacing, and plodding the course, [D] He's fighting [E] and biding, and riding on [Em] his horse,
The sun has [B] gone down, and the moon has [Dm] come up, And long ago [Em] somebody [G] left with the cup,
But he's [E] thriving and striving, and hugging the [C] turns, And [E] thinking of someone for who he [G#] still learns,
He's going [E] the distance, he's going for speed, She's all alone, all alone in a time of need,
[Em] Because he's racing and [Bm] pacing, and plodding the [B] course, He's [Em] fighting and biding, and riding on his horse,
He's racing and [B] pacing, and plodding the course, He's fighting [Em] and biding, and riding on his horse,
[G] He's going [B] the distance,
[Em] he's going for speed, He's [B] going the distance, [Em] alright,
[E] [B]
