Cadd9                        G 
The race is harder than arithmatic 
Cadd9                     G 
Some will say it can't be won 
Cadd9                         G 
Son it gets harder when your shoes are slick 
G/B                      D 
But I had set my mind to run 

Cadd9                     G 
And it was harder that I bargained for 
Cadd9                     G 
Broken dreams at every turn 
Cadd9                  G 
I had heart enough to almost make it thru 
G/B                 D 
And a lesson yet to learn 

Cadd9                         G 
I slipped and fell before the finish line 
Cadd9                          G 
Just when it seemed I couldn't lose 
Cadd9                   G 
I can fall anytime you want me to 
G/B          D              G 
You are the s**t beneath my shoes
