Joey Cape: Going For The Bronze
[Intro]
Am    C    G    D
Am    C    G    D   G
AmI'm taking it slow, keeping the pace
CI'm only looking to place
GNever a loss, never a win
EBronze metals hang from my bed
AmI'm running the grey matter laps
COutta my mind on the outer track
GIf I don't feel someone else will
EIt's all downhill from Amhere
AmOn my Cown
Running out the Gone man marathon
EGoing for the bronze, bronze, Ambronze
Am    C    G    D
AmTaken the licks, getting my stripes
CEverything in life comes with a price
GBy a thread stay alive
EMake it happen with a third rate stride for the
AmRunner up, runner up, runner up prize
CI'll take what I can get at the finish line
GDrafting the pack in the blind
EAll thoroughbreds in their Amprime
AmBound to Cshow
Running down this Glonely road
EForgoing the gold
GI'm going, going, going for the bronze
[Guitar Solo]
Am   C   G   E
AmI know there could be Cnothing more than this
As there all Gpushing their limits
I am left Ewondering what I miss
Because Amthey all seemed trapped
Hopelessly Cfighting over scraps
I won't Gmiss them when they're gone
I won't Emiss them when they're gone
AmOn my Cown
Running out the Gyoung man's marathon
EGoing for the bronze, bronze, bronze

[Intro]

Am C G D

Am C G D G

I'm taking it slow, keeping the pace

I'm only looking to place

Never a loss, never a win

Bronze metals hang from my bed

I'm running the grey matter laps

Outta my mind on the outer track

If I don't feel someone else will

E Am

It's all downhill from here

Am C

On my own

Running out the one man marathon

E Am

Going for the bronze, bronze, bronze

Am C G D

Taken the licks, getting my stripes

Everything in life comes with a price

By a thread stay alive

Make it happen with a third rate stride for the

Runner up, runner up, runner up prize

I'll take what I can get at the finish line

Drafting the pack in the blind

E Am

All thoroughbreds in their prime

Am C

Bound to show

Running down this lonely road

Forgoing the gold

I'm going, going, going for the bronze

[Guitar Solo]

I know there could be nothing more than this

As there all pushing their limits

I am left wondering what I miss

Because they all seemed trapped

Hopelessly fighting over scraps

I won't miss them when they're gone

Am C

On my own

Running out the young man's marathon

Going for the bronze, bronze, bronze
