I can't take this kinda pressure
G                 -      F#m       - 
I must confess one more dusty road

I just can't, I just can't

I once ran the Indy 500
  G           -    F#m    -
I must confess I'm impressed how I did
      Em       -              Dsus2
And I wonder how close that I came
Em
Now I get a sinking sensation
G          -         F#m        -             Em     -
I was the top of the line, out of site out of mind

So much for fortune and fame
