Gmaj7 I fell on the playing field Em the work of an errant heel Cadd9 the din of the crowd and the loud commotion Am Dsus2 went deafening silence and stopped emotion Gmaj7 the season was almost done Em we managed it 12 to 1 Cadd9 so far I had known no humiliation Am Dsus2 in front of my friends and close relations Cmaj7 Gmaj7 There's my father looking on Cmaj7 Gmaj7 and there's my girlfriend arm in arm Em with the captain of the other team Cadd9 and all of this is clear to me Dsus2 Cadd9 they condescend and fix on me a frown Am Dsus2 how they love Gmaj7 the sporting life Gmaj7 And father had had such hopes Em for a son who would take the ropes Cadd9 and fulfill all his old athletic aspirations Am Dsus2 but apparently now there's some complications Gmaj7 but while I am lying here Em trying to fight the tears Cadd9 I'll prove to the crowd that I come out stronger Am Dsus2 though I think I might lie here a little longer Cmaj7 Gmaj7 There's my coach he's looking down Cmaj7 Gmaj7 the disappointment in his knitted brow Em I should've known he thinks again Cadd9 I never should have put him in Dsus2 Cadd9 he turns and loads the lemonade away Am Dsus2 and breathes in deep Gmaj7 the sporting life Em the sporting life Cadd9 the sporting life Gmaj7 how he loves...
