Well, somebody had to come second

I think it's the best that I've done
     C                             
As I entered the straight, the tape
 G
 beckoned
       A7                       D
But he just chested past me and won
           C                 G
Still, I'm only 18, I'll get faster
  C                           D
I started this sport just for fun
            C                      
But there's lots more to learn, 
     G
lots to master
    D                           G
You don't just go out there and run
        C                          
There's lots more to learn, lots to
 G
 master
    D                           G
You don't just go out there and run

Well, somebody had to come third 
love

I gave it my lot, all the way
  C                           G
I flew round that bend like a bird, 
love
         A7                 D
But then, it just wasn't my day
           C           G
Still, I'm 23, getting stronger

        C                     D
And I'm certain I'm giving me all
     C                            
It's just that the distance seems 
G
longer
        D                       G
And the pleasure's beginning to pall
     C

Well, somebody had to come fourth, 
dear
  C                       G
I tried just as hard as I could

But the wind at this track's from 
the north dear
         A7                D
And that never does me any good
          C                    G
Still, at 30, you’ve got to be sure,
 love
      C                         
These youngsters are lacking the 
 D
skill
         C                   
And I've grown to be fast and 
   G
mature, love
     D                     G
I'll win, I believe that I will
         C

D7    G
Well, somebody had to fill fifth 
place

Me legs were like lead at the end
  C                        G
I know, it's a terrible disgrace
    A7                        
But that's it, I'm finished my 
 D
friend
   C         G
At 35 nobody fears you
  C                   D
Nobody cheers at your name
   C                         G
No need for that blanket, no tears 
now
      D                   G
You remember that early acclaim
   C                         G

Well, somebody had to come last now

Or else how could we have a race?
      C                       G
I let all the others go past, how
     A7                     D
They elbowed and pushed and lost 
face
       C               G
Me? I enjoyed the fine weather
    C                         D
And kept myself clear of their maul
   C                    G
At 40, just finishing’s clever
        D                     
And the pleasure's in running, 
        G
that's all

Well, I've never been first 'cross 
the line, love

I've not made a penny o’ brass
      C                        G
But I reckon it all worked out fine,
 love
  A7                         D
I just never reached the top class
      C                        
Now I see 'em all jiggered with 
 G
joggin'
      C                    D
Their faces distorted with pain
     C                        
Such grief, it makes me need a 
 G
noggin
         D                      G
Let's be first down the tavern again
     C                        
Such grief, it makes me need a 
 G
noggin
         D
