Verse 3
Em
trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine
D/E
He's haunted by something he cannot define
of doubt and remorse
with monster-truck force
still making the grade
that her memories will fade
and plotting the course
D/E
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
F/E
Em
And long ago somebody left with the cup
D/E
A/E
But he's striving and driving
and hugging the turns
Chorus 2
He's going for speed
She's all alone
All alone in her time of need
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
