VERSE
G D
The lights go on, another game day
Em C
I grabbed my bat and headed for the plate
G D Em
But the first pitch was a curve and I was done - Strike one!
G D
I stepped out of the box, looked the pitcher in the eye
Em C
You could read his lips, "Hey punk, you're mine."
G D
So I gave him a wink and said "Let's see what you can do." - Strike two!
CHORUS:
C Em D G
Gotta keep my eye on the ball, swing straight and true and follow through
C Em D
Don't be afraid whatever the call
C Em
Because we're never alone
D G
Our coach is there to cheer us on
F#* G F#* G
Well it's the wind up, here comes that ball
Em C D
You gotta pray and swing, watch it till it's going, going, its gone
G D Em C G D Em
Home Home Home run
Em D
(we need a home run)
VERSE 2
G D
You know life can be like a baseball game
Em C
We're on the same team, but we're not all the same
G D Em (Em D Em Em D)
That's why we've got to learn to play together
G D
I didn't join this team to sit on the bench
Em C
I'm going deep, swinging for the fence
G D Em (Em D Em Em D)
I got some friends on base I gotta get home
(Repeat Chorus)
BRIDGE:
Em C
We are not the first to play this game or stand over this plate
Em C
We are surrounded by their legacy, like they're sittin' in the stands
C
I can see them waving their hands
Em C Em G D
saying, "Go, go all the way!"
