John Bickford – Race Car Driver chords

B                               EBeen playing the game too long, But I’ve learned how to survive,
I’ve walked away from crashes,Shouldn’t even be alive.

C#m     B       F#I take all comers,
I take them all through the night.
‘Cause the only time I can forget you,
Is when they flash those green lights.

[Chorus]
E                    B       E                   BI go hard, and I go strong, I go far, and I go long.
E                               B                         F#I set the pace ‘til they wave that checkered flag in the air.
           E         D#m   C#m          BI’m just a race car driver… going nowhere.

B                                    EI do the circuit, I make the rounds. Sometimes there’s a fight.
B                                      EThe pain never lets me down, Reminds me… once I was alive.
C#m     B       F#    C#m     B       F#I take all comers, But the young bucks, they mean more.
C#m              B              F#       C#m              B              F#‘Cause the only time I can forget you, Is when I’m laid out on the bar room floor.

[Chorus]
E          D#m         C#m     D#m     BI once told her I’d be home again someday.
Too many distractions, too many pit stops along the way.
E         D#m          C#m    D#mI haven’t won in such a long time,
E         D#m                     F#But if I saw her, this is what I’d say…

E                  BI go hard, and I go strong,
E                  BI go far, and I go long.
I set the pace when they wave that white flag in the air.

E                  BI go hard, and I go strong,
E                  BAnd I’ve learned how to get along
E                   B           F#When your chances vanish into thin air.
  E         D#m   C#m          BI’m just a Race Car Driver… going nowhere.
