E 
When you're born it's a beautiful thing 
           E 
They put a pacifier in your mouth 
    E 
You crawl around naked on the kitchen floor  
         E 
And your mom and daddy feel so proud 

Chorus: 
     A 
Everybody looks good at the starting line 
            D                       B7 
Get on your mark, get ready but you better keep this in mind 
        A                           
You can hit the ground running like you're shot from a gun 
    D                         B7  
But going the distance is the hard part son 
     A               E               A  
Everybody looks good at the starting line 

You fall in love, you tie the knot 

You're on a permanent honeymoon 

But twenty years later when the thrill is gone 

Will she still be in love with you 

Chorus 

Yeah, yeah, move out 

Life is a race we've all got to run 

So stand up and toe the line 

I wish that I could say it was all down hill 

But there are mountains we've got to climb 

Chorus 

Chorus 


        D 
Sing it one more time 
     A              E                A  
Everybody looks good at the starting line 
Looks good, looks good at the starting line
