Well I'm so sad tonight
        C                  F

Do not pretend that we're just lovers

But I'll only ever be

a middle distance runner

Well my heart is beating hard
  C                            F
And the mouth with the shot at the start
  C                      F
And my legs tremble from strain
  C                        F
But by the finish line I am drained

So won't you run to me tonight

Do not pretend that we're just lovers

But I'll only ever be
