Racing Down One Path

[Intro ]

E       A               Bm   E 
  I am racing down one path 
E         A        Bm   E 
  Fast as I ever have 
E          A             Bm      E 
 Going to make where I am going real at last 
E      A               Bm   E 
 I am racing down one path 
 

 
E                     A 
 Struck by everything that gets in my way 
Bm              E 
 Time and again I'm taught 
E             A               Bm  E 
 Whether I'm listening or not 
 

 
E                           A 
 For the changes when they come in the form 
Bm                               E 
 of just more of the same daily waiting for changes in store 
E              A 
 O, they only make me feel my age 
Bm    E 
 Any more 
 

 
E       A               Bm   E 
  I am racing down one path 
E         A        Bm   E 
  Fast as I ever have 
E          A             Bm      E 
 Going to make where I am going real at last 
E      A               Bm   E 
 I am racing down one path 
 

 
E                      A 
 Watching power invent new ways 
Bm                        E 
 To convince me I should live afraid 
         E             A 
So that none of its actions 
             Bm      E 
Has to be explained 
 

 
E               A 
 I can see how long it will take 
Bm                     E 
 To compose an answer news can't break 
E 
 So instead even though 
A                        Bm    E 
 I know it looks like running away 
 

 
E       A               Bm   E 
  I am racing down one path 
E         A        Bm   E 
  Fast as I ever have 
E          A             Bm      E 
 Going to make where I am going real at last 
E      A               Bm   E 
 I am racing down one path

Bm         Bm 
  Not much   better off 
C             C 
 For what I know is false 
           G             D 
Than the ones who don't see 
                A        A 
Through distraction 
 

 
Bm         Bm             C 
 But at least I have the tendency 
   C             G 
To let this lack lead me back 
D       E   E 
 Into action 
 

 
E                    A                   Bm                E 
 A disposition that remains when I can't stop reading a lover's face 
       E 
In her eyes 
              A                       Bm       E 
Something is telling me I'm going to lose my place 
 

 
E                           A 
 It makes me just want to think of my own end 
Bm            E 
 Keep my eyes on it closing in 
E                 A                       Bm 
 And then make a pass when she askes how I am 
  E 
Approaching it 
 

 
E       A               Bm   E 
  I am racing down one path 
E         A        Bm   E 
  Fast as I ever have 
E          A             Bm      E 
 Going to make where I am going real at last 
E      A               Bm   E 
 I am racing down one path
