D 

 
D 
On your marks, get ready 
    G                D 
Our toes against the line 
G                D 
When the whistle blew 
            Em            G 
I knew that I'd been left behind 
  D 
I hammered on the tarmac 
   G                D 
My face was turning red 
      G               D 
There was no catching Danny 
       Em          G 
He was half a mile ahead 
 

 
  A                 Bm7 
I wished I could be like him 
        D                 G 
Burning brighter than the rest 
A         Bm7          Em                 G 
I had no idea how he'd learned to move so fast 
 

 
   G                                Bm7             A 
He ran like he could feel something snapping at the heels 
       Em       G 
Of his worn-out shoes 
G 
Too fast to follow 
Bm7        A 
Too hot to hold 
    Em      F#m7 G 
Too good to lose 
 

 
   D 
At sixteen, he dropped out 
     G              D 
Soon aftr, he left home 
      G                  D 
If h couldn't make them happy 
        Em         G 
He'd be better off alone 
    D 
Had ways to make some money 
G              D 
Dealing on the sly 
  G                     D 
I could have talked him out of it 
      Em         G 
But I never even tried 
 

 
   A            Bm7 
No fear of repercussions 
     D            G 
He'd only crack a grin 
A               Bm7           Em                   G 
He'd outrun his shadow before they'd catch up with him 
 

 
   G                                Bm7             A 
He ran like he could feel something snapping at the heels 
       Em       G 
Of his worn-out shoes 
G 
Too fast to follow 
Bm7        A 
Too hot to hold 
    Em      F#m7 G 
Too good to lose 
 

 
    D 
The last time I saw Danny 
         G                D 
Was at a lock-in late one night 
G            D 
Smoking in a corner 
    Em                 G 
His face and shoulders tight 
    D 
His girlfriend hit the needle 
    G            D 
Sometime back in July 
          G                D 
You could see that she was fadin' 
       Em                G 
By the shadows round his eyes 
 

 
       A                   Bm7 
It was strange to hear him talk 
  D                   G 
Until his cheeks were wet 
    A          Bm7             Em                   G 
Did he already know it was the last chance he might get? 
    A               Bm7 
And later that same year 
       D            G 
In the early winter time 
A               Bm7            Em                 G 
Danny broke the record when he crossed the finish line 
 

 
   G                                Bm7             A 
He ran like he could feel something snapping at the heels 
       Em       G 
Of his worn-out shoes 
G 
Too fast to follow 
Bm7        A 
Too hot to hold 
    Em      F#m7 G 
Too good to lose
