Smash - They Just Keep Moving The Line

F  C F  Db  G C


[Verse 1]
     F
The field was bright with clover

I saw the finish sign
               Am
I started as a rover
        Eb           D
And then victory was mine
Bb
I thought the race was over
          C                    F  
But they just keep moving the line
    C       F



[Verse 2]
      F
They cheered at my persistence
                  Dm
But prayed for my decline
     F               E
The path of least resistance
        Eb           D
Led to Hollywood and Vine
  Bb
I tried to go the distance
          C                    F  
But they just keep moving the line
   Bb  Am  F



[Bridge]
   A
I jumped all of the hurdles

To break out of the pack
  D
I started on the outside

And then hit the inside track
   G               Gm
I left the other fillies
   G
Back at the starting gate
     C                    Eb
Was ready, on my mark, I got to set
  G                  C
To hurry up and wait


[Verse 3]
   F
So talent and ambition
                   Dm
Won me a chance to shine
  F            Em
I aced the big audition
         Eb               D
But it's rainin' on Cloud Nine
       G
Can't beat the competition
            Bb                  
'Cause they just keep moving the 
  F   Gm   G#m   F
line


[Bridge]
  A
I handled every corner

Each bump along the track
    D7
And when I saw the ribbon, well

There was no turning back

   G
I won the photo finish

I posed for all the men
    C
But before I got my trophy
           A
Well, the race began again


[Verse 4]
Bb    Eb
So I made friends with rejection

I've straightened up my spine!
                  D
I'll change each imperfection
          C
'Til it's time to drink the wine!
    F
I'd toast to resurrection
         B               Bb   G
But they just keep moving the line!

C      F
Please give me some direction
       D     B               Bb  
'Cause they just keep moving the 
Eb B  A Eb
l- i - ne!
