Em It is the fire that lights itself G But it burns with a restless flame D The arrow on a moving target Em The archer must be sure of his aim It is the engine that drives itself But it chooses the uphill climb A bearing on magnetic north Growing farther away all the time G D Can't stop moving Em Can't stop moving A C#m Can't stop Chorus: F# You may be right It's all a waste of time C#m I guess that's just a chance I'm prepared to take A A danger I'm prepared to face C#m Cut to the chase A Just a danger I'm prepared to face C#m Cut to the chase It is the rocket that ignites itself And launches its way to the stars A driver on a busy freeway Racing the oblivious cars It's the motor of the western world Spinning off to every extreme Pure as a lover's desire Evil as a murderer's dream Can't stop moving Can't stop moving Can't stop Chorus A C Young enough not to care too much D A About the way things used to be I'm young enough to remember the future The past has no claim on me E G I'm old enough not to care too much A E About what you think of me But I'm young enough to remember the future And the way things ought to be Cut Cut C#m Cut to the chase F# You may be right It's all a waste of time C#m I guess that's just a chance I'm prepared to take A A danger I'm prepared to face C#m Cut to the chase A What kind of difference can one person make?
