Tom: E E When you're born it's a beautiful thing E They put a pacifier in your mouth E You crawl around naked on the kitchen floor E And your mom and daddy feel so proud [Chorus] A Everybody looks good at the starting line D B7 Get on your mark, get ready but you better keep this in mind A You can hit the ground running like you're shot from a gun D B7 But going the distance is the hard part son A E A Everybody looks good at the starting line [Verse 2] E You fall in love, you tie the knot E You're on a permanent honeymoon E But twenty years later when the thrill is gone E Will she still be in love with you [Chorus] A Everybody looks good at the starting line D B7 Get on your mark, get ready but you better keep this in mind A You can hit the ground running like you're shot from a gun D B7 But going the distance is the hard part son A E A Everybody looks good at the starting line [Solo] A E A Yeah, yeah, move out [Verse 3] E Life is a race we've all got to run E So stand up and toe the line E I wish that I could say it was all down hill E But there are mountains we've got to climb [Chorus] A Everybody looks good at the starting line D B7 Get on your mark, get ready but you better keep this in mind A You can hit the ground running like you're shot from a gun D B7 But going the distance is the hard part son A E A Everybody looks good at the starting line [Outro] A Everybody looks good at the starting line D B7 Get on your mark, get ready but you better keep this in mind A You can hit the ground running like you're shot from a gun D B7 But going the distance is the hard part son A E A Everybody looks good at the starting line D Sing it one more time A E A Everybody looks good at the starting line
