[INTRO]
E F#m G A (x4) E
F#m
An 89 year old man learned how to run
A B
And as he passed me by, he said "come on, son!"
F#m
I really thought my bones weighted a ton
A B
As I dragged them up and down the block
E A D
Now a couple of weeks have passed
B F#m
Gone are the makings of a lazy man
F#m
When I saw the usher of change
Her flaming hair in slow-mo
A B
Gliding past my window
F#m
I had to trace her down
"You look like a really nice guy
A B
But can you keep up with me?"
D
Away she ran
[CHORUS]
D Bm E
I'm doing everything I can
A D
To be half of a marathon man
Bm E
How many things can life conceal
A D
Deep in the mist everything is unreal
Bm E
If you believe in me, I can
A D
Become your own half a marathon man
Bm F#m
I am half of a marathon man
Yea-yeah
F#m
Good morning, somebody kill me right now
A B
I've never felt this kind of a burning cold
F#m
I read it somewhere, running is like a drug
A B
As for the second day I can say it is not
E A D
It's bright white burning pain
B
Bring it on, baby!
F#m
10 miles and I feel hellbent
A B
I'm gonna make sure this rainbow has an end
F#m
I seem to have hit an invisible wall
A B E A
Trying to find out if this here endless tunnel is really
D
A cave
[CHORUS]
D Bm E
So here I run between the fields
A D
I am half of a marathon man
Bm E
Follow the river down from the hills
A D
If I can do it, then anyone can
Bm E
Now her eyes reflect my skies
A D
You can hear love in the 21 cries
Bm F#m
Of half of a marathon man
D E F#m
It's a beautiful day, it's a beautiful day,
A E
It's so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Bm E F#m
It's a beautiful day, it's a beautiful day,
A E
It's so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
E F# G#m
It's a beautiful day, it's a beautiful day,
B F#
It's so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
E F# G#m
It's a beautiful day, it's a beautiful day,
B F#
It's so beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
