Joey Cape – Going For The Bronze (Guitar)

Am
I'm taking it slow, keeping the pace

C
I'm only looking to place

G
Never a loss, never a win

E
Bronze metals hang from my bed

Am
I'm running the grey matter laps

C
Outta my mind on the outer track

G
If I don't feel someone else will

E                      Am
It's all downhill from here

Am    C
On my own

                G
Running out the one man marathon

E                             Am
Going for the bronze, bronze, bronze

Am
Taken the licks, getting my stripes

C
Everything in life comes with a price

G
By a thread stay alive

E
Make it happen with a third rate stride for the

Am
Runner up, runner up, runner up prize

C
I'll take what I can get at the finish line

G
Drafting the pack in the blind

E                          Am
All thoroughbreds in their prime

Am       C
Bound to show

                  G
Running down this lonely road

E
Forgoing the gold

G
I'm going, going, going for the bronze

Am                   C
I know there could be nothing more than this

             G
As there all pushing their limits

          E
I am left wondering what I miss

        Am
Because they all seemed trapped

           C
Hopelessly fighting over scraps

        G
I won't miss them when they're gone

        E
I won't miss them when they're gone

Am    C
On my own

                G
Running out the young man's marathon

E
Going for the bronze, bronze, bronze
