The Distance Tab by Cake

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line

(E minor) Engines pumping and thumping in time The

(E minor) Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns

Their (D/E) prowess is potent and secretly stern

As they (E minor) speed through the finish,

the flags go down

The (D/E) fans get up and they get out of town

The a (E minor) rena is empty except for one man

Still (D/E) driving and striving as fast as he can

The

(E minor) sun has gone down (F sharp/E) and the moon has come up And

(E minor) trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine

He's (D/E) haunted by something he cannot define

(E minor) Bowel-shaking earthquakes

of doubt and remorse

As (D/E) sail him, impale him

with monster-truck force

In his (E minor) mind, he's still driving,

still making the grade

She's (D/E) hoping in time

that her memories will fade

'Cause he's (E minor) racing and pacing

and plotting the course

He's (D/E) fighting and biting and riding on his horse

The (E minor) sun has gone down

(F sharp/E) and the moon has come up

And (F/E) long ago somebody (E minor) left with the cup

But he's (D/E) striving and driving (A/E)

and hugging the turns

And (A minor/E) thinking of someone

for (E minor) whom he still burns

'Cause he's going the (E minor) distance

He's going for speed

She's all alone

All alone in her time of need

Because he's (E minor) 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

He's (E minor) fighting and biting and riding on his horse

He's going the distance

He's going for speed

He's going the distance
