Song notation
Verse 1:
Amaj                     Dmaj
With the finish line so far
Gmin                                       Amaj
I've already pushed too hard
                        Dmaj                 Gmin
Feel like I'm falling apart
Amaj             Dmaj
I focus on moving ahead
Gmin                                                           Amin
And focus on the race right now instead
                           Dmin                    Gmin
Of how much farther I must tread

Pre-chorus:
Dmaj                    Bmin             Gmin
I survived the run of my life (x2)

Chorus:
D5                                    B5
Don't worry about tomorrow
                     G5                      A5
​Save your worries for today
D5                                    B5
​It's kept me winning so
G5                              B5
That's my victory pace

​Verse 2:
Amaj                Dmaj
The present I enjoy
Gmin                                   Amin 
Savour the stress I avoid

​Anticipation's a decoy
Amaj                  Dmaj      Gmin
Towards the finish I go

Continuously show

​Myself things I didn't know
