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
