Everybody Looks Good At The Starting Line

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
