      A               D
I've had some bummer days
But I ain't lookin' back
      A             D
I've made a few mistakes
                       E
But I'm on the right track

   F#m             D
I got somewhere to be
Gotta hurry so I'll make
    A              D
My date with destiny
                         E
'Cause I don’t wanna be late
         A D E F#m
Here we go

D        A
I might take my time
F#m                E            Bm
'Cause I find the fable had it right:
           D               E
Slow and steady wins the race
D            A
And I might lag behind
F#m                E               Bm
But I swear I'll cross the finish line
          D         E
Movin' at a steady pace

Chorus:
    D        A
I'll give it all I've got
F#m      E
I don't have a lot
Bm            D             E    A
But I know a little goes a long way

The truth is hard to face
But I can take a hit
I've lost in many ways
But a winner don't quit
My head is in the game
And the move is mine to make
But I am not afraid
'Cause I'll fight the good fight

I got somewhere to be
Gotta hurry so I’ll make
My date with destiny
‘Cause I don’t wanna be late
Here we go

I might take my time
'Cause I find the fable had it right:
Slow and steady wins the race
And I might lag behind
But I swear I'll cross the finish line
Movin' at a steady pace

Chorus:
I'll give it all I've got
I don't have a lot
But I know a little goes a long...
I'll give it all I've got
I don't have a lot
But I know a little goes a long way

I got somewhere to be
Gotta hurry so I'll make
My date with destiny
'Cause I don't wanna be late
