Going For The Bronze

[Abm]    [B]    [F#]    [C#]    [F#]

[Abm]I'm taking it slow, keeping the pace
[B]I'm only looking to place
[F#]Never a loss, never a win
[Eb]Bronze metals hang from my bed
[Abm]I'm running the grey matter laps
[B]Outta my mind on the outer track
[F#]If I don't feel someone else will
[Eb]It's all downhill from here

[Abm]On my own
[B]Running out the [F#]one man marathon
[Eb]Going for the bronze, bronze, bronze

[Abm]Taken the licks, getting my stripes
[B]Everything in life comes with a price
[F#]By a thread stay alive
[Eb]Make it happen with a third rate stride for the
[Abm]Runner up, runner up, runner up prize
[B]I'll take what I can get at the finish line
[F#]Drafting the pack in the blind
[Eb]All thoroughbreds in their prime

[Abm]Bound to show
[B]Running down this lonely road
[F#]Forgoing the gold
[Eb]I'm going, going, going for the bronze

[Abm]   [B]   [F#]   [Eb]

[Abm]I know there could be [B]nothing more than this
As there all [F#]pushing their limits
I am left [Eb]wondering what I miss
[Abm]Because they all seemed trapped
Hopelessly [B]fighting over scraps
I won't [F#]miss them when they're gone
I won't [Eb]miss them when they're gone

[Abm]On my own
[B]Running out the one man marathon
[F#]Going for the bronze, bronze, bronze
[Eb]Going for the bronze, bronze, bronze
