Rush - Marathon: chords

      B
It’s not how fast you can go
     A
The force goes into the flow
    B
If you pick up the beat
            A
You can forget about the heat

 B
More than just survival
 D
More than just a flash
 G                       A
More than just a dotted line
                  B A
More than just a dash

        B
It’s a test of ultimate will
     A
The heartbreak climb uphill
 B
Got to pick up the pace
        A
If you want to stay in the race

 B
More than just blind ambition
 D
More than just simple greed
 G                       A
More than just a finish line
                B
Must feed this burning need —
             G A
In the long run

Chorus:
B                 E
From first to last
F#
The peak is never passed
E                          G#m
Something always fires the light
                   F#
That gets in your eyes
B                E
One moment’s high
F#
And glory rolls on by
E
Like a streak of lightening
That flashes and fades
       F#
In the summer sky

Your meters may overload
You can rest at the side of the road
You can miss a stride
But nobody gets a free ride
More than high performance
More than just a spark
More than just the bottom line
Or a lucky shot in the dark
In the long run

Chorus

Bm
You can do a lot in a lifetime
        E
If you don’t burn out too fast
Bm
You can make the most of the distance
 E
First you need endurance —
First you’ve got to last
