_ _ _ _ [F] _ Saturdays on the [Eb] baseball [Ab] field, _ [Eb] me afraid of [Bb] the ball, just [Fm] another kid on [Bb] camera day.
_ _ Angels still playing in [Bb] L.A., all the _
[Eb] smiling, _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _
living black [Bb] and white.
_ [Bbm] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ Baseball caps [Ab] and bubble [Eb] gum, [Ab] I think there's [Eb] a hole in [Bb] my glove.
_ _ [Fm] Three and two, [Bb] _ life and death, _ [Fm] swinging with eyes closed, holding my [Bb] breath.
[Ab] I was _ [Eb] dying _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] on _ my way to [Bb] the vet, _
[Bbm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ but none [Cm] of it [C] mattered [Eb] after the game.
When my father [Cm] would find me and call [Eb] out my name, [Ab] a soft drink, a [Bb] snow cone, a candy bar,
[Cm]
a [Eb] limousine ride in the family. _
[Bb] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] He loved _ me, _ _ no matter how I played. _
[Ab] He _ [Eb] loved [Ab] _ [Eb] me, _ no [F] matter how [Eb] I [Bb] played.
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ He loved me.
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ But [Cm] none of it mattered [Bb] after [Eb] the game.
When my [Cm] father would find me and call out [Eb] my name, [Ab] dreaming of [Eb] glory [Bb] the next time around.
[Cm] My [Eb] father showed me what love [Bb] is _ about.
[Bbm] _ _
[Bb] _ _ He [Eb] loved me, _ _ _ no matter how I played.
[Bb] _ _ He loved _ _ me, _ no matter how I played.
_ He loved [Ab] me, [Eb] _ _ no matter how I played.
He _ _ _ _ _ loved [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] me.
La [Bb] la la la la, _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ la la la la la, _ _ la la la la la la, _ _ _ _ la la la la la la, _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] la la la la la.
But none [Cm] of it mattered [Bb]
after [Eb] the game.
When my father [F] would find me and [Bb] call out [Eb] my name. _
