[C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[C] I was young [F] in high school I [C] wanna play football for the coach [F] and
_ Freeport, right?
[C] _ Isle of Paw, [F] Massapequa Park, Rockville Center
[C] _ _ The older [F] guys said he's mean [C] and he's cruel now
I wanna play [F] football for the coach _ _
[C] _ _ It's a little too late [F] to go out for linebacker
I want to be linebacker
[C] _ Grass is always greener
[F] So I went out for right hander
[C] _ Actually I was a pole vaulter
I went [F] out in the sectionals at age 6 _
[C] That's pathetic
[F] Big head _ _
[C] _ Cause someday man you [F] gotta stand up straight
Unless you're gonna fall and [C] then you're going to die
[F] Going to die _ _
[C] And the straightest dude I ever [F] knew
Was standing right by [A] me all the [C] time
And I had to play football for the coach
[F] _ _ _
[C] And I want to play football for the [F] coach _ _
[C] I had to play ball with the [F] coach
I wanted to do it with a [C] coach
When you're all alone and lonely
[F] _ _
[C] Baby, it's midnight [Gm] hour
_ [F] _ _
[C] _ And you find out that [F] you're sold
Don't you know that you're sold?
You've [Am] been up in [D] sales
_ _ [B] _ [G] _ _ _
_ [C] _ Then you [F] start thinking
Oh baby you've been doing so much [C] drinking
And thinking about all the things that [F] you've done
Listen people that said that [C] you shouldn't have fun
With who he was, and why he [F] was
And all those things, all those [Dm] things
You hear every single one
[G] _ Every single [A] one _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] Think of all the things that he's gonna do _ _
[A] _ Oh baby, baby
You've been doing so much drinking
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
And thinking _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ about [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ all the things that [C] you've done
Listen _ people that said that you [F] shouldn't have fun
With who he [Am] _ _ [Dm]
was, and why he [G] was
And [C] _
all _ [F] those things, all those things
And all those friends, they've gone and they're ripped to [Em] riffs
Every single one
[F] _ _ [C] Says hey, hey, baby
There's no way you're letting be a human [Dm] being
But things ain't what they [G] seem
_ Walking in a [C] dream
Then you start thinking
You're doing [F] too much thinking
And they said, they said
[C] Look at all those things that you've done
[F] _ _ And I [C] said
What it was, and who it [F] was
And all those things I hear every [Dm] single one
Every single [G] one
_ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ So don't think of sinning, [G] don't worry about [Am] it _
[A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [F] Nothing like a sugar sour
_ _ _ [Em] _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ [F] And right now
I just think it's like a sugar, [C] baby
_ A [F] baby's all I want
_ [C] _ _ _ _
[F] I'm calling your mom
_ [C] _ _ _ _
[F] _ Just call your mom
[D] Baby, you can see it now _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ It's [F] _
all just [C] love
_ _ _ [F]
We all could [Dm] be in love
_ _ [G] _ _
[Em] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] No matter who you are
[C] There's _ _ _ _ a [C] story to us
_ _ [F] _ It's just [Dm] that there's no
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [F] There's a sad, there's a cry
Take [C] _ _ _ _ [F] your tears and let the song be a [C] song
_ _ _ [F] Close your eyes, let the song be a song
[Dm] Let's just be in love
