[Verse 1]
                C              Am7       C/B
He's pleased to meet you underneath the horse
           C              Am7            C/B
In the cathedral with the glass stained black
         C                    Am7   C/B
Singing sweet high notes that echo back
Ab                       G* 
   To destroy their master
          C                 Am7      C/B
May be a long time till you get the call-up
          C                Am7     C/B
But it's sure as fate and hard as your luck
Am            Ab             Gm   G*
   No one'll know where you are

[Chorus]
            C      D   Fmaj7           G
It's just a brief smile crossing your face
            C      D    Fmaj7         G
I'm running speed trials standing in place

[Interlude]
E*   Em/G   A5   E5/B   x2

[Verse 2]
          C             Am7     C/B
When the socket's not a shock enough
           C                       Am7        C/B
You little child, what makes you think you're tough?
             C                 Am7     C/B
When all the people you think you're above
Ab                              G*
   They all know what's the matter
              C                  Am7      C/B
You're such a pinball, yeah you know it's true
               C                      Am7     C/B
There's always something you go back running to
Am                Ab      Gm       G*
   To follow the path of no resistance

[Chorus]
            C      D   Fmaj7           G
It's just a brief smile crossing your face
            C      D    Fmaj7         G
I'm running speed trials standing in place
             A     F   C               G
It's just a brief smile crossing your face
            A      F    C              G
I'm running speed trials all over the place

[Ending]
     Am  F   C         G
Oooh-ooh-ooh   Ooh-ooh-ooh
     Am  F   C         G
Oooh-ooh-ooh   Ooh-ooh-ooh
     Am  F   C         G
Oooh-ooh-ooh   Ooh-ooh-ooh
