VERSE 1
********
G
Well, somebody had to come second
I think it's the best that I've done
C G
As I entered the straight, the tape beckoned
A7 D
But he just chested past me and won
C G
Still, I'm only 18, I'll get faster
C D
I started this sport just for fun
C G
But there's lots more to learn, lots to master
D G
You don't just go out there and run
C G
There's lots more to learn, lots to master
D G
You don't just go out there and run

VERSE 2
********
D7 G
Well, somebody had to come third love
I gave it my lot, all the way
C G
I flew round that bend like a bird, love
A7 D
But then, it just wasn't my day
C G
Still, I'm 23, getting stronger
C D
And I'm certain I'm giving me all
C G
It's just that the distance seems longer
D G
And the pleasure's beginning to pall
C G
It's just that the distance seems longer
D G
And the pleasure's beginning to pall

VERSE 3
********
D7 G
Well, somebody had to come fourth, dear
C G
I tried just as hard as I could
But the wind at this track's from the north dear
A7 D
And that never does me any good
C G
Still, at 30, you’ve got to be sure, love
C D
These youngsters are lacking the skill
C G
And I've grown to be fast and mature, love
D G
I'll win, I believe that I will
C G
And I've grown to be fast and mature, love
D G
I'll win, I believe that I will
E|E|E|E|E|E|---------------------||||||
VERSE 4
********
D7 G
Well, somebody had to fill fifth place
Me legs were like lead at the end
C G
I know, it's a terrible disgrace
A7 D
But that's it, I'm finished my friend
C G
At 35 nobody fears you
C D
Nobody cheers at your name
C G
No need for that blanket, no tears now
D G
You remember that early acclaim
C G
No need for that blanket, no tears now
D G
You remember that early acclaim

VERSE 5
********
D7 G
Well, somebody had to come last now
Or else how could we have a race?
C G
I let all the others go past, how
A7 D
They elbowed and pushed and lost face
C G
Me? I enjoyed the fine weather
C D
And kept myself clear of their maul
C G
At 40, just finishing’s clever
D G
And the pleasure's in running, that's all
C G
At 40, just finishing’s clever
D G
And the pleasure's in running, that's all

VERSE 6
********
D7 G
Well, I've never been first 'cross the line, love
I've not made a penny o’ brass
C G
But I reckon it all worked out fine, love
A7 D
I just never reached the top class
C G
Now I see 'em all jiggered with joggin'
C D
Their faces distorted with pain
C G
Such grief, it makes me need a noggin
D G
Let's be first down the tavern again
C G
Such grief, it makes me need a noggin
D G
Let's be first down the King's Head again
