_ I wanted to play [F] football for the coach.
_ _ [C] _ _ _
[F] They said I was a little too lightweight to [C#] play linebacker, so I thought I'd play [C] it right in.
I wanted to play [F] football for the coach.
_ _ [C] _ _ _
[F] Cause you know some day man, you gotta stand up straight unless [C] you're gonna fall,
then you're [F] gonna die.
_ _ [C] _ _ And [F] straight as doo doo, I ever knew was standing right for me all the [C] time.
_ So I had to play [F] football for the coach.

[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[G] _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ When [F] you're all alone and lonely,
_ [C] and you're in your _ [F] midnight,
_ _ _ [C] _ _ and you find that [F] your soul's been up for [Dm] sale, _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ and you begin to [F] think about _ [Dm] [C] all the [Em] things that you've [C] done, _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ and [F] you begin to hate [Am] just [Dm] about everything. _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ But remember the [F] prince who's adorned the hill,
who _ _ [C] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
loved you even though she knew you [F] was wrong, _ _

_ [F] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [G] and they're [F] twerking behind your back saying man you're never gonna be [Dm] no human being.
_ [G] _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ [Em] Then _ [F] _ you start [C] thinking again about all those things that you've done,
_ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] and who it was, and what [F] it was, and all the different things you made [Dm] every day you've seen.

_ _ something like a circus [F] or a zoo,
_ _ _ _ [G] _ [Am] _ and _ just remember different [F] people have peculiar tastes.
