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
