F
Verse 1
FOn your marks, get ready
Bb FOur toes against the line
Bb FWhen the whistle blew
GmI knew that I'd been left behind
FI hammered on the tarmac
Bb FMy face was turning red
Bb FThere was no catching Danny
Dm7 BbHe was half a mile ahead
Pre-Chorus 1
C Dm7I wished I could be like him
F BbBurning brighter than the rest
C Dm7 F BbI had no idea how he'd learned to move so fast
Chorus
Bb Dm7 CHe ran like he could feel something snapping at the heels
BbOf his worn-out shoes
Bb Too fast to follow
Dm7 C Too hot to hold
Gm Am7 BbToo good to lose
Verse 2
FAt sixteen, he dropped out
Bb FSoon after, he left home
Bb FIf he couldn't make them happy
Gm FHe'd be better off alone
FHad ways to make some money
Bb FDealing on the sly
Bb FI could have talked him out of it
Gm BbBut I never even tried
Pre-Chorus 2
C Dm7No fear of repercussions
F BbHe'd only crack a grin
C Dm7 F BbHe'd outrun his shadow before they'd catch up with him
Chorus
Bb Dm7 CHe ran like he could feel something snapping at the heels
BbOf his worn-out shoes
Bb Too fast to follow
Dm7 C Too hot to hold
Gm Am7 BbToo good to lose
Verse 3
FThe last time I saw Danny
Bb FWas at a lock-in late one night
Bb FSmoking in a corner
Dm7His face and shoulders tight
FHis girlfriend hit the needle
Bb FSometime back in July
Bb FYou could see that she was fadin'
Dm7 BbBy the shadows round his eyes
Pre-Chorus 3
C Dm7It was strange to hear him talk
F BbUntil his cheeks were wet
C Dm7 F BbDid he already know it was the last chance he might get?
C Dm7And later that same year
F BbIn the early winter time
C Dm7 F BbDanny broke the record when he Crossed the finish line
Chorus
Bb Dm7 CHe ran like he could feel something snapping at the heels
BbOf his worn-out shoes
Bb Too fast to follow
Dm7 C Too hot to hold
Gm Am7 BbToo good to lose
