[Verse 1]
                      Dmaj7
If this breakup was a race
      D                 A
You'd win by a landslide
                 D
And I'd be tying my shoes
                  A
back by the start line
                Bm7
You lap me and I'd be happy
                F#m7    F#m
just to see you pass
                     Bm
Well I'll sit right here, babe
Bm7            F#m       F#m7
Panting in the grass
                    Bm7
But my mom's got my inhaler
              Bm
in the crowd
                      A
And she's cheering me on now
Dmaj7 A

[Verse 2]
                      Dmaj7
If this breakup was a race
                        A
You'd win by a landslide
                Dmaj7
I'd be walking laps, babe
                       A
To watch the birds fly by
                          Bm7
You'd lap me cause you've been
                  F#m7
moving on way too fast
                Bm7
Your legs are on fire, babe
               F#m7
Ease up on the gas
                          Bm7
So i'll watch the flowers grow
            D
for a while
                      A
You keep running your mile
