Intro:
   Bm7
   Gbm E    Gbm Bm7 (x3)
   Gbm E

Verse 1:
       D
Just a young boy

At the starting line with his tunes on
                            Gbm
And his shoes untied with a chip on
                                 E
His shoulder side from what he tripped on
                         D
The last time he's Buzz Lightyear

With no hyper-drive
           D
He's like Mike here
                              Gbm
With no Nike Flight and he'll fall down

With his shoes untied
           E
And he'll trip on to the finish line

Pre-chorus:
         D
And I'll try to write this song
                    Gbm    E
If he gets there
      Bm
And I want to write this song

Chorus:
     D                        A
I'd like to be the one who is on the podium
       Gbm
Take a photo for my mom
     E                   A
And show here that I've made it
     D                             A
I'd like to be the one who could write the perfect song
        Gbm
Just to show you that I've won
          E              A       D
But I'll have to tie my laces
A                       D
If I'm gonna make it

Verse 2:
         D
In that moment

When they hit the lights in looked golden
                                Gbm
But it didn't feel right he was frozen
                                  E
With the worst frostbite was he chosen
        E          Gbm       D
Like an Israelite, pick the quotient
                               D
That you can't divide like two oceans
                                 Gbm
Stranded on the other side his devotions
                        E
On the other side his emotions

On the other side

Pre-chorus:
          D
And I'll try to write this song
                  Gbm    E
If he gets there
      Bm
And I want to write this song

Chorus:
A       D                        A
   I'd like to be the one who is on the podium
       Gbm7
Take a photo for my mom
     E                   A
And show here that I've made it
    D                             A
I'd like to be the one who could write the perfect song
        Gbm
Just to show you that I've won
          E              A        Bm
But I'll have to tie my laces
E                 Gbm       D    Gbm E
If I'm gonna make it

Bridge:
    D
And then I'll end this song
Gbm    E
    In 2051
    D
And sing it for my son
    E
And then I'll tie his laces
       D
Just a young boy at the starting line, line, line, line

Chorus:
    D                         A
I'd like to be the one who is on the podium
       Gbm
Take a photo for my mom
    E                   A
And show here that I've made it
    Dmaj7                          A
I'd like to be the one who could write the perfect song
        Gbm
Just to show you that I've won
         E               A        D
But I'll have to tie my laces
A                          D
If I'm gonna make it

E
