[INTRO] E F#m G A (x4) E
F#m
An 89 year old man learned how to run

                                A        B
And as he passed me by, he said "come on, son!"

F#m
I really thought my bones weighted a ton

                           A       B
As I dragged them up and down the block

      E         A            D
Now a couple of weeks have passed

             B              F#m
Gone are the makings of a lazy man

F#m
When I saw the usher of change
Her flaming hair in slow-mo
A       B
Gliding past my window

F#m
I had to trace her down
"You look like a really nice guy
            A            B
But can you keep up with me?"

D
Away she ran
[CHORUS]
D         Bm           E
I'm doing everything I can

      A               D
To be half of a marathon man

           Bm              E
How many things can life conceal

             A                   D
Deep in the mist everything is unreal

         Bm             E
If you believe in me, I can

                A               D
Become your own half a marathon man

      Bm                F#m
I am half of a marathon man
Yea-yeah
F#m
Good morning, somebody kill me right now

                               A       B
I've never felt this kind of a burning cold

  F#m
I read it somewhere, running is like a drug

                                A       B
As for the second day I can say it is not

    E             A       D
It's bright white burning pain

 B
Bring it on, baby!

F#m
10 miles and I feel hellbent

                                A       B
I'm gonna make sure this rainbow has an end

F#m
I seem to have hit an invisible wall

                        A       B       E         A
Trying to find out if this here endless tunnel is really

D
A cave
[CHORUS]
D       Bm                E
So here I run between the fields

     A                  D
I am half of a marathon man

           Bm                  E
Follow the river down from the hills

         A                  D
If I can do it, then anyone can

        Bm               E
Now her eyes reflect my skies

              A              D
You can hear love in the 21 cries

    Bm                F#m
Of half of a marathon man

D                E                     F#m
It's a beautiful day, it's a beautiful day,

                   A          E
It's so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

Bm                E                    F#m

It's so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

E                F#                    G#m
It's a beautiful day, it's a beautiful day,

                 B          F#
It's so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
