E5 When you're born it's a beautiful thing E5 They put a pacifier in your mouth E5 You crawl around naked on the kitchen floor E5 And your mom and daddy feel so proud Chorus: A5 Everybody looks good at the starting line D5 B5 Get on your mark, get ready but you better keep this in mind A5 You can hit the ground running like you're shot from a gun D5 B5 But going the distance is the hard part son A5 E5 A5 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 D5 Sing it one more time A5 E5 A5 Everybody looks good at the starting line Looks good, looks good at the starting line
