B It’s not how fast you can go A The force goes into the flow B If you pick up the beat A You can forget about the heat B More than just survival D More than just a flash G A More than just a dotted line B A More than just a dash B It’s a test of ultimate will A The heartbreak climb uphill B Got to pick up the pace A If you want to stay in the race B More than just blind ambition D More than just simple greed G A More than just a finish line B Must feed this burning need — G A In the long run Chorus: B E From first to last F# The peak is never passed E G#m Something always fires the light F# That gets in your eyes B E One moment’s high F# And glory rolls on by E Like a streak of lightening That flashes and fades F# In the summer sky Your meters may overload You can rest at the side of the road You can miss a stride But nobody gets a free ride More than high performance More than just a spark More than just the bottom line Or a lucky shot in the dark In the long run Chorus Bm You can do a lot in a lifetime E If you don’t burn out too fast Bm You can make the most of the distance E First you need endurance — First you’ve got to last Chorus - x2 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  E  F#  G  G#m  B  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
