The Distance chords by Cake
Verse 1
Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
Em
Engines pumping and thumping in time
The green light flashes, the flags go up
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup
Em
They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank
D
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank
Em
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns
D
Their prowess is potent and secretly stern
Verse 2
Em
As they speed through the finish,
the flags go down
D
The fans get up and they get out of town
Em
The arena is empty except for one man
D
Still driving and striving as fast as he can
Em
The sun has gone down
F#
and the moon has come up
F
Em
And long ago somebody left with the cup
D
A
But he's driving and striving
and hugging the turns
Am/E
And thinking of someone
Em
for whom he still burns

Chorus 1
Em
He's going the distance
He's going for speed
She's all alone
All alone in her time of need
Em
Because he's racing and pacing
and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
Interlude 1
He's going the distance
Em
Verse 3
Em
No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine
D
He's haunted by something he cannot define
Em
Bowel-shaking earthquakes
of doubt and remorse
D
Assail him, impale him
with monster-truck force
Em
In his mind, he's still driving,
still making the grade
D
She's hoping in time
that her memories will fade
Em
'Cause he's racing and pacing
and plotting the course
D
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
Em
The sun has gone down
F#
and the moon has come up
F
Em
And long ago somebody left with the cup
D
A
But he's striving and driving
and hugging the turns
E
And thinking of someone
Em
for whom he still burns
Chorus 2
Em
'Cause he's going the distance
He's going for speed
She's all alone
All alone in her time of need
Em
Because he's racing and pacing
and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's racing and pacing and plotting the course
Em
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's going the distance
He's going for speed
He's going the distance
